Spain plans to relocate 1,300 migrant children from overcrowded Ceuta | DW News

Hundreds of unaccompanied migrant children remain in Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta after a mass border crossing from Morocco.

Spain says it will transfer more than 1,300 children to the mainland, prioritizing younger boys and girls. But how are these children living now, and what happens to them next?
