Hundreds of migrant children are stranded in Spain's Ceuta after mass crossing

Hundreds of migrant children are stranded in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta after attempting to cross from Morocco. One 17-year-old girl recounted the traumatic experience of watching her younger brother drown during the chaotic migration attempt and being separated from her mother. Over 800 minors remain in Ceuta, facing uncertainty and hardship, with many relying on local support and government-run centers that are reportedly overwhelmed. Spanish authorities confirmed 72 deaths during the crossing, though Morocco reported additional fatalities. While adult migrants can seek asylum, unaccompanied minors are meant to receive protection under Spanish law. Some adults have been expelled or returned voluntarily, while others, including non-Moroccan migrants like Sudanese refugees, remain in Ceuta.
