The National Police has activated, this Friday early in the afternoon, an operation to return to Morocco about 800 minors from the country that entered Ceuta alone in mid-May. The operation has begun with the transfer, in groups of 15, of the 234 teenagers who were in the sports center of Santa Amelia, according to what police sources confirmed to Europa Press and the organization No Name Kitchen (Ceuta) to ARA. The repatriation operation will not include minors considered vulnerable, according to the same sources.

"Today is a sad day because the figures we will give are terrible and very sad", anticipated activist and researcher Helena Maleno, before releasing the latest monitoring data on the right to life on the southern border of the NGO Caminando Fronteras. The organisation's report details that up to 2,087 people have died during the first six months of the year trying to reach Spain through the migratory routes of the southern border.
