The Spanish Government has set up 1,500 temporary reception places in Ceuta in the face of migratory pressure
Elma Saiz announced the immediate opening of four areas to streamline the reception system and highlighted inter-agency cooperation.
The Minister for Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, Elma Saiz, announced on Monday the immediate establishment of 1,500 new reception places and temporary areas in Ceuta inthe face of the city's migratory pressure.
Specifically, in the parking lot of Loma del Colmenar, in the equestrian sports facilities, in the old football field of the Cavalry barracks and in the area known as Guano , the last two areas belong to the Spanish Government, while the autonomous city has left the parking lot of Loma del Colmenar.
During his visit to Ceuta, Saiz stressedthat"interinstitutional cooperation is essential to restore normalcy in Ceuta as soon as possible." He arrived in the city last night to learn first-hand about the situation caused by the massive influx of migrants. He met with the city's president, Juan Vivas, and the government delegate, Miguel Ángel Pérez Triano.
A "flexible" reception system
Saiz has explained that the reception system makes it possible to adapt to the circumstances, which now includes the 1,500 new places announced. Etorkin Temporary Stay Centre (CETI) and the thousands of people in the Trampoline beach camp, has indicated that the government is "studying" the situation.
The Minister has not specified the level of occupation of CETI or the camp and has stated that the provision of new temporary spaces is part of the response to streamline the reception system.
A few days ago, the Spanish Government declared a state of emergency of EUR 6.5 million to strengthen the humanitarian response in Ceuta and designated the Red Cross as a priority organisation for the care of people in vulnerable situations, which, according to data provided by Saiz, distributes around 4,000 food kits a day and has provided more than 4,000 social and health care since the onset of the crisis.
