过去几天,超过1500名移民通过海路到达西班牙领土休达,其中包括成人和未成年人[1]。休达政府领导人胡安·赫苏斯·维瓦斯表示,这些移民主要来自摩洛哥,还有少数在摩洛哥生活的阿尔及利亚人[1]。当地接待中心已满员,数百名移民被迫在中心外露宿[1]。
西班牙当局正面临边境管理挑战。内政部长费尔南多·格兰德-马拉斯卡称当局面临"特殊、异常的情况"[1],西班牙已动员了国民警卫队、海上救援服务和红十字会进行应对[1]。不过,西班牙最高法院本月早前的裁定规定,通过海路抵达的移民不能立即被推回边境,需经过正当程序[1]。去年曾在海上发现60具遗体[1],反映出海上越境的风险。
More than 1,500 migrants have reached the Spanish enclave of Ceuta by sea over the past several days, according to local government leader Juan Jesus Vivas, straining border security and overwhelming reception facilities [1]. The arrivals include both adults and minors, predominantly Moroccan nationals along with a smaller number of Algerian residents living in Morocco [1]. With reception centers at full capacity, hundreds of migrants have been forced to sleep outside the facilities [1].
Spanish authorities are confronting what Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska described as a "special, unusual situation" [1]. The government has mobilized the National Guard, maritime rescue services, and the Red Cross to manage the crisis [1]. The surge presents a significant challenge in light of a recent ruling by Spain's Supreme Court this month, which prohibits authorities from immediately returning migrants who arrive by sea to the border without due process [1]. Last year, 60 bodies were found at sea in the region, underscoring the dangers of the crossing [1].
