Spain has asked for help from the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) in processing migrants who crossed into Ceuta last month and still remain in the North African Spanish territory.
Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska sent a request to Beate Gminder, the European Commission's director general for migration and home affairs, to help with screening migrants in Ceuta.
Madrid has also requested 10 more Frontex officers to help with the screening.
Frontex is the European Union agency responsible for managing the bloc's external borders and fighting cross-border crime.
Why is Spain asking for help with the Ceuta migrants?
