However, concerns have been raised over the conditions in which children are being held, with one minor telling Spanish newspaper
El País, "I want to get out of here" after sharing video appearing to show a bathroom floor covered in excrement after the toilets at one facility stopped working.
Meanwhile, other children who have not been taken in at the shelters have been sleeping outside, including in parks, according to local media outlets.
Speaking with
El País, Mabel Deu, the vice-president of Ceuta said the situation had become "unsustainable", but she said that some of the issues, including the clogged toilets at one facility, had been addressed.
