Several families of Moroccans residing in Europe were blocked at the Tarajal border by the Moroccan authorities for non-compliance with the Covid-19 health requirements. They were asked to return to Spain, causing a massive traffic jam at the Spanish border.

It is a "dramatic situation," deplore the Moroccans of Europe who spend more than four hours at the Tarajal border before accessing Morocco. It is chaos with the many families of MREs arriving in Ceuta without having been previously informed of Morocco’s health requirements and who are systematically turned away, causing a massive traffic jam on the Spanish side of the border.

"The situation becomes unbearable at times..." deplore the travelers who have been waiting for four hours to cross the border, without receiving any assistance or support or other catering services. In this period of intense heat when it is necessary to hydrate regularly, there is no cafe or restaurant open in the region, they criticize, calling on the authorities of the autonomous city to correct the situation so that the Marhaba 2022 Operation takes place under good conditions.
