Ceuta is grappling with a severe migrant crisis as over a dozen minors recently crossed from Morocco using floatation devices, taking advantage of dense fog.
The Guardia Civil intercepted several migrants attempting to enter Spain, but the exact number remains unclear.
Ceuta's facilities are overwhelmed, operating at over 400% capacity, with more than 230 minors arriving in August alone.
The city has declared a state of emergency, urging the Spanish government for immediate assistance.
The situation is dire, with many migrants risking their lives swimming across the border, leading to tragic fatalities.
Ceuta's President, Juan Vivas, has called for urgent support to manage the influx and ensure the safety and care of unaccompanied minors.
