> Hundreds of unaccompanied migrant children are still in Ceuta, Spain’s North African enclave, following a mass border crossing from Morocco. Local accommodation has been overwhelmed, and many minors are reportedly sleeping outside as authorities struggle to manage the arrivals. Spain says it will move more than 1,300 children to the mainland, giving priority to younger boys and girls. The situation raises questions about how the children are living now and what will happen to them next.
