Police firing in the air to dissolve a settlement of thousands of immigrants in Ceuta: "There were fights, sexual assaults ... "

The article reports on a tense situation in Ceuta, Spain, where over 5,000 migrants were forcibly dispersed by police using non-lethal shots into the air after forming a large queue at a temporary settlement known as Loma Colmenar. The migrants had been waiting for days for access to basic services like food, water, and hygiene facilities provided by the government. The site was originally used for vehicles waiting to cross into Morocco but was repurposed to accommodate migrants sleeping outdoors. Police claimed the migrants were causing disturbances, including fights and sexual assaults, and described the situation as 'a true disaster.' Despite efforts to expand the facility, most migrants were turned away, leading to frustration and unrest.
