Andalusia's child protection system is nearing full capacity, with 96.3% of its 6,092 available spots occupied.

The region cared for 2,615 unaccompanied migrant minors last year, highlighting the strain on resources.

The Andalusian government has urged the central government to address the growing pressure, emphasizing the need to prepare for more arrivals.

Criticism has also been directed at the central government for a lack of transparency and coordination in managing migration policies.

Meanwhile, other regions like Murcia report even greater strain, with resources exceeding 220% of their capacity.

The situation underscores the urgent need for a cohesive national strategy to manage the influx of unaccompanied minors and ensure their protection.
