CEUTA MIGRANT CRISIS: 'We Live Like Animals', Desperate Migrants Demand Asylum From Spain
Aug 16, 2026
Migrants remained in makeshift shelters along Ceuta's shoreline on Sunday, pleading with Spanish authorities for formal accommodation and asylum after arriving from neighbouring Morocco. Footage from Sidi Embarek showed people sleeping and eating in shelters made from reeds, plastic sheeting and discarded materials, while others queued for aid under police supervision. Migrants described difficult conditions, including exposure to heat and cold, limited access to food and washing facilities, and drinking dirty water. One migrant, Adnan Menfas, said he had spent six hours swimming from Morocco before reaching Ceuta and appealed to Spain to grant asylum. Moroccan authorities said they had intercepted more than 148 people attempting to cross into Ceuta around Fnideq, while Spain reinforced security with additional police and Civil Guard personnel, maritime patrols and a barrier near the Tarajal breakwater.
