Hundreds of immigrants in Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta gathered for a protest Sunday demanding they be granted asylum. They’re among the thousands who remain in Ceuta after most of the 70,000 people who crossed into the enclave in recent weeks seeking protections quickly left.
Dozens died, mostly from drowning, in their attempt to reach the Spanish territory amid an intensifying crackdown along the border with Morocco.
Many of those who stayed in Ceuta are now forced to sleep on the beach or in the city’s outskirts.
