Over a thousand migrants in Ceuta, Spain, are currently camping on Trampolín beach after the city’s migrant reception center (CETI) reached full capacity. Facing a lack of official accommodation, migrants have constructed approximately twenty makeshift shelters along the shoreline. Many are resorting to collecting refuse as a means of survival while awaiting processing. The situation highlights the ongoing pressure on Ceuta as a European entry point for African migrants. Local authorities are struggling to cope with the influx, and the beach camp represents a visible manifestation of the growing humanitarian challenge. This makeshift settlement underscores the urgent need for increased resources and solutions for managing migration flows to the region. The conditions within the camp are currently basic, prompting concerns for the wellbeing of those residing there.
