Spanish authorities in Ceuta, a Spanish exclave bordering Morocco, have raised alarms regarding the safety of migrants currently residing in the territory. According to reports from prosecutors, sexual assaults against the migrant population have become a near-daily occurrence. The situation follows a period of significant migration pressure on the region, which has seen thousands of people cross the border.

While the vast majority of those who arrived have since returned to neighboring Morocco, officials estimate that roughly 5,000 migrants remain within Ceuta. The local government and judicial authorities are currently grappling with the logistical and humanitarian challenges posed by this remaining population. The reports of widespread sexual violence highlight the precarious living conditions and lack of security for those who have not yet been repatriated or processed. At this time, there is limited information regarding specific suspects or the steps being taken by law enforcement to curb these incidents, though the acknowledgment by prosecutors marks a significant escalation in the official recognition of the crisis.
