A young girl in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta revealed the harsh realities of mass migration from Africa into the region.
Ceuta, which is on the African continent, has been flooded with migrants in recent weeks, leading to tremendous strain on local residents and a number of shocking crimes.
The schoolgirl cried to a local news crew that the arrivals have made life in Ceuta unrecognizable.
“I want to go to school in peace, but we can’t go,” the child said, per a report from The Daily Wire.
“We’re scared. Very scared. We’re in a very bad way.”
The Daily Wire noted that 70,000 migrants have arrived in Ceuta, swimming around barriers and even climbing perimeter fences.
Ceuta had a population of 83,000 before the incursion — meaning local services cannot handle the migrants.
Silvia Rojas, the chief prosecutor for Ceuta, confirmed that there have been 23 sexual assaults since the beginning of the incursion.
About nine of them involved children.
