Sexual Abuse of Underage Girls in Ceuta Migration Crisis
The influx of migrants into Ceuta has led to a humanitarian crisis, with underage girls being particularly vulnerable. Medical reports reveal shocking incidents of suspected rape and sexual assault among girls under 14. Social organizations warn that many more girls are at risk due to lack of identification, safe accommodation, and specialized accompaniment. The situation has overwhelmed local resources, with overcrowded reception centers and hospitals. Ceuta's capacity to accommodate minors is far exceeded, with over a thousand under care compared to its ordinary capacity of 29 places. The crisis has also led to financial losses for local businesses and demands for shared responsibility from other Spanish regions.
