A picture taken on October 18, 2026 shows debris from a dismantled migrant settlement at the entrance to the Tarajal warehouses, in Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta. Scores of migrants remain sleeping rough in outlying neighborhoods of the city since the massive influx of tens of thousands of migrants from Morocco in late July, fueling tension in this Spanish North African enclave of some 80,000 inhabitants.
