Story summary

On October 4, Spanish authorities cleared a migrant camp on Trampolín Beach in Ceuta ahead of an upcoming visit by King Felipe and Queen Letizia, who will be visiting from October 13-14 for the first time since their reign began twelve years ago. Around 3,000 migrants had been living there in tents and makeshift homes for two months following a surge where over 72,000 crossed from Morocco into Ceuta in late July. The migrants were moved to temporary accommodation for processing or repatriation to Morocco. This move aims to address tensions with the local population, who have held protests calling for the migrants' removal due to resource strain and ongoing friction between Spain and Morocco over sovereignty claims on Ceuta.
