Spanish authorities have cleared a makeshift migrant camp from a beach in Ceuta, relocating hundreds of people to temporary shelters following last month's mass border surge.
The operation was carried out as authorities attempted to restore order along the beach, where migrants had been living in difficult conditions while waiting for decisions on their asylum requests and future status.
But after the clearance, some migrants returned to the beach, demanding the right to seek asylum and a route to mainland Spain.
The scenes highlight the continuing humanitarian challenges facing Ceuta, Spain's North African enclave surrounded by Morocco.
Thousands of migrants remain in the territory, putting pressure on local accommodation, social services, and authorities responsible for processing asylum and migration cases.
Officials say temporary shelters are being used to provide accommodation and basic assistance, while security forces continue monitoring the border and surrounding areas.
For migrants, however, the uncertainty remains. Many are seeking protection, legal status, and the opportunity to continue their journeys into mainland Europe.
The latest developments underline the wider migration pressures facing Spain as authorities balance border management with humanitarian responsibilities.
As the situation continues, Ceuta remains at the center of a growing debate over migration, asylum, and the future of migrants stranded at Europe's southern frontier.
