In the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, migrants are living in makeshift camps, facing hunger and routine racial profiling, according to recent reports. The situation has drawn attention to the ongoing challenges at Europe's southern border.
Local NGOs and humanitarian groups have documented the dire conditions, noting that many migrants lack access to adequate shelter, food, and sanitation. The camps, often set up in informal areas, are home to hundreds of people awaiting asylum decisions or legal status.
Racial profiling by security forces has been reported, with migrants of sub-Saharan origin saying they are stopped and searched more frequently than others. This has fueled tensions and complaints of discrimination.
The Spanish government has acknowledged the pressures on Ceuta and has pledged to improve reception conditions, but activists argue that more needs to be done to address the root causes of migration and ensure the rights of those already in the enclave.
