Story summary

In late July, a record 72,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta over two days, overwhelming local resources. As of early August, authorities estimate that at least 10,000 people remain stranded in Ceuta, creating a significant humanitarian crisis. Migrants like 21-year-old Anis Fadi are sleeping in makeshift shelters with limited protection from the elements, and daily queues for basic necessities like food stretch for hours. The situation is exacerbated by a lack of adequate housing and shelter options for the displaced individuals.
