Guillaume Mercier, a spokesman for the European Commission, stated on Thursday that talks between Spain and Brussels on additional funding for Ceuta were “full speed” following last week’s storming of the Spanish enclave from Morocco by 72,000 people.
Depending on Spain’s proposal, cash might really be used for things like food, emergency workers, temporary shelters, medical care, and other humanitarian assistance. Neither the application nor the desired financing amount have been finalized yet.
70,000 people have already returned to Morocco following last week’s fatal incident, which claimed at least 88 lives, according to Spanish officials on Monday. Juan Vivas, the president of Ceuta, claims that up to 5,000 people including 860 unaccompanied minors remain in spite of this.
In recent days, the non-governmental organization Luna Blanca has fed almost 12,000 migrants in Ceuta. Mustafa Abdelcader, the president of Luna Blanca, told Euronews that “the institutions aren’t prepared to deal with” this kind of situation.He stated, “We’re talking about an influx of about 60,000 or 70,000 people, and we’re almost at the same level as the city’s population.” Children were arriving with heatstroke and starvation, according to an organization social worker.
