Fire destroys dozens of migrant shelters in Spain’s Ceuta

A massive fire has destroyed dozens of migrant shelters in Ceuta, a Spanish territory on the North African coast, prompting hundreds of people to flee.

Al Jazeera reported the evacuation but did not provide a precise figure for the number of people who left or the shelters destroyed.

The available account did not report any deaths or injuries. It also did not identify the cause of the fire or detail the extent of damage beyond the migrant shelters.

The incident places renewed attention on the conditions facing migrants housed in Ceuta, although the available information does not indicate how many people in the territory were affected.
