On September 9, local time, the European Commission approved the provision of emergency aid of 114.7 million euros to Spain to strengthen border control in the North African enclave of Ceuta and speed up the repatriation process of relevant personnel. The funds will be used to strengthen border security facilities and the reception, screening and repatriation of relevant personnel. The European Commission said that the emergency aid decision was made after Spain submitted a relevant request on August 24. The funds will be used to strengthen border surveillance and protection, improve security infrastructure, including thermal imaging cameras, observation technology, buoy systems, and underwater drones, and invest in additional personnel and equipment. In addition, funds will also be used to set up immigration screening facilities, support the repatriation of people illegally stranded in Ceuta, and enhance local reception capacity, including receiving unaccompanied minors.
