Spain U-turns: 500 migrant children from Ceuta to be relocated to mainland

The Spanish government has reversed its position and announced it will allow 500 migrant children in Ceuta to relocate to the mainland. Madrid had previously stated that anyone who entered the territory illegally would be sent back. An estimated 70,000 people crossed into Ceuta — a Spanish enclave on the North African coast — on 30 July, with most having since returned to Morocco. Spanish law requires the state to care for unaccompanied underage migrants until they turn 18.
