Spanish authorities have cleared El Trampolín beach in Ceuta and relocated about 1,500 migrants and asylum seekers, according to official government figures. The large-scale operation responds to the humanitarian crisis that began when thousands crossed the border from Morocco on July 30 and 31.

In Ceuta, the fate of migrants who crossed into the Spanish enclave at the end of July remains unclear.
