On August 5, 2026, the Spanish government approved an additional €25 million in funding to support the reception of unaccompanied migrant minors in the autonomous city of Ceuta. The decision was announced by the Ministry of Territorial Policy and was confirmed by official sources.
The funds are intended to improve living conditions and expand capacity at reception centers, which have been overwhelmed by a recent increase in arrivals. According to local authorities, the number of unaccompanied minors in Ceuta has risen significantly, straining existing facilities.
The Spanish government has been working with regional and local administrations to address the situation. The new allocation is part of a broader effort to ensure the protection and integration of migrant children, in line with Spain's commitments under EU and international law.
This measure follows a series of similar funding announcements in recent months, as Spain continues to manage migration flows across the Mediterranean. The government has emphasized its commitment to a humane and orderly migration policy.
