Spanish Police Move Hundreds of Migrants From Ceuta Beach to Temporary Camp
The operation follows a record influx of migrants into the North African Spanish enclave, as migration remains a central issue in Spain's political debate.
Spanish police on Friday launched an operation to move hundreds of migrants from the beaches of Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in North Africa, to a temporary camp set up in the territory's port area, according to France 24.
The operation comes weeks after Ceuta experienced a record influx of migrants, France 24 reported.
During the transfer, police reportedly struggled to contain crowds jostling for space at the newly erected tented site, according to the report.
The policing action unfolds against a backdrop in which migration has become a central issue in Spain's political debate, France 24 said.
Further details of the operation were reported by Nicholas Rushworth for France 24.
