In Ceuta, Spanish police uncovered 28 undocumented migrants hiding in flats that failed to meet basic hygiene and habitability standards.

The police report noted that the dwellings were in disrepair, lacking proper sanitation facilities and overall living conditions that would be considered safe for residents.

Ceuta is currently grappling with a humanitarian crisis, a situation that has intensified in the weeks since more than 70,000 people crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclave.

Ceuta, a Spanish territory on the northern coast of Africa, sits on the Strait of Gibraltar and serves as a key point of entry for migrants from the continent. The influx has strained local resources and highlighted ongoing challenges in managing migration flows.

Authorities have not yet released further details on the fate of the migrants or the specific measures being taken to address the housing violations.
