Migration crisis in Ceuta
Earlier, RBC-Ukraine reported that hundreds of migrants staged a protest on a city beach in Ceuta, demanding asylum in Spain. They were among several thousand people stranded in the enclave following a mass border breach two weeks earlier.
It was also reported that the migration crisis in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta escalated sharply in mid-July. Around 60,000 people crossed into the city within a single day.
In addition, leaders of several European countries called for Spain’s participation in the Schengen Area to be suspended over the large-scale migration crisis in Ceuta.
