Gastroenteritis, scabies, and impetigo have been confirmed in Ceuta amid warnings of overcrowding and inadequate sanitation
Cases of infectious disease, including an outbreak of gastroenteritis, have been reported among migrants in Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta following the mass influx from neighboring Morocco in late July.
Spain’s National Institute for Health Management (INGESA) confirmed the gastroenteritis outbreak among recently arrived migrants, Spanish media reported on Friday. The agency also confirmed cases of scabies and impetigo, while noting that both conditions were present in Ceuta before the latest influx.
INGESA, however, has rejected claims that Ceuta’s healthcare system has collapsed. The agency has also disputed reports of a tuberculosis outbreak, saying a suspected case tested negative.
