The Spanish enclave of Ceuta has seen its population swell by approximately 60%—from 80,000 to 130,000—as a result of the mass migration wave that brought an estimated 50,000 new arrivals in recent days, according to reports. The figure underscores the scale of the border crisis, which has overwhelmed the enclave's infrastructure.
The demographic impact of the ongoing migration crisis in Ceuta is becoming clear. According to reports, the enclave's population has surged by nearly 60%—from approximately 80,000 to 130,000—as an estimated 50,000 migrants have entered in recent days. This follows earlier reports that Spain's Interior Ministry estimated 49,000 migrants crossed into Ceuta in 24 hours, a figure The Zioneer reported earlier today. The rapid influx has overwhelmed local infrastructure and sparked political debate, with some analysts describing the situation as a de facto demographic conquest. The Spanish government has yet to issue an official updated population figure.
