Ceuta's Tent City: A Glimpse into Europe's Migration Quagmire The recent transfer of hundreds of migrants from Ceuta's beaches to a new tented area has brought attention to the ongoing crisis affecting this tiny Spanish territory.
In late July, tens of thousands of people crossed the border with Morocco, but although most have since returned, several thousand remain, many sleeping rough on the beaches.
Ceuta's migrant population is staggering: authorities estimate that 13,000 migrants still reside in the enclave, which covers a mere 18. 5 square kilometers.
