Ceuta Crisis Escalates as Police Fire Shots During Migrant Relocation
Spanish riot police have begun forcibly moving migrants from Ceuta beaches to temporary port facilities, using batons and rubber bullets in an operation that started early Friday. While roughly 10,000 people remain in the enclave following the July surge, EU officials warn that the resulting imagery continues to bolster far-right narratives despite overall declines in irregular arrivals.
Al Jazeera English reports that the operation began at 07:00 local time, with officers employing rubber bullets and batons to disperse crowds. The outlet confirms that temporary accommodation near the port now includes facilities such as showers and beds for those being relocated.
