23 sexual assaults reported in Ceuta after migrant influx

Africanews reports that Spanish prosecutors have documented 23 sexual assault cases in Ceuta since a large influx of migrants from Morocco in late July. Nine of these cases involved minors, with officials highlighting the vulnerability of migrant children due to their irregular status. Over 72,000 migrants entered Ceuta during the two-day period, though most have since returned to Morocco, leaving around 5,000 individuals, including approximately 1,400 to 1,600 children, still present. The Spanish government has allocated funds for essential services and support for unaccompanied children and held emergency meetings to address the crisis. Opposition parties criticize the government's response, while tensions with Morocco persist, with Spain avoiding direct accusations against Moroccan authorities. Fact-checkers note disinformation campaigns on Moroccan social media, and at least 100 people died attempting to cross to Ceuta by sea.
