According to Abu Ali Express, Moroccan migrants who entered the Spanish enclave of Ceuta are erecting tents and sukkahs — traditional booths for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot — on the beaches, including at La Trampoline beach. The report says the migrants stated they are 'getting ahead of the Sukkot holiday,' using the structures as a base for their stay amid the ongoing migration crisis.
The Ceuta migration crisis, which has seen tens of thousands of Moroccan migrants enter the Spanish enclave since late July, appears to be entering a new phase as migrants begin to establish semi-permanent settlements on the beaches. According to a report from Abu Ali Express, migrants are setting up tents and sukkahs — traditional booths used during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot — along the coastline, with footage reportedly from La Trampoline beach. The report quotes the migrants as saying they are 'getting ahead of the Sukkot holiday,' suggesting they are preparing for a prolonged stay. The Zioneer has previously reported on the crisis, including the removal of Moroccan border barriers, court rulings that blocked rapid deportations, and reports of migrants seeking accommodation without property owners' consent.
