Hundreds of minors remain in Ceuta after migrant crisis, authorities say

Of the approximately 72,000 migrants estimated to have entered Ceuta in North Africa last week, around 70,000 have now returned to Morocco, Spanish authorities say.

Of those remaining in Ceuta, a large proportion are unaccompanied children or young people. Ceuta leader Juan Jesus Vivas says authorities are taking care of around 1,100 minors despite having capacity for only 90.

This is a completely unsustainable situation, he says.

According to the AFP news agency, conditions are difficult for several of the people who remain in Ceuta, with limited access to food and shelter.
