Migrants from Ceuta get rid of thousands of mobile phones making police investigations about them difficult

During the migratory avalanche in Ceuta, thousands of migrants discarded mobile phones on beaches, roadsides and vacant lots of the city, according to sources from the Guardia Civil. This practice significantly hinders police investigations, since the devices could provide clues about the identity and origin of the migrants. Simultaneously, many migrants are already buying new mobile phones, both in regular stores and in the black market, as well as cards from Spanish operators with a top-up system, which suggests a deliberate attempt to avoid being tracked by authorities.
Infraestruturas de Portugal announced that traffic on the Spanish road at the Monfortinho border, in Idanha-a-Nova, is prohibited for heavy vehicles for 15 days, between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
Sérgio Santos, commander of firefighters in Saudi Arabia with experience in rescue operations, warned of a very high risk of infection in areas affected by the flood in Nepal and Tibet. According to the specialist, the lack of adequate protection equipment among teams participating in the removal of victims significantly increases the health danger in flooded areas.
An avalanche of ice and rock on the border between Nepal and Tibet is believed to have caused a massive flood that has already killed hundreds of people in Nepal, leaving a trail of mud and destruction wherever the water passed, devastating several regions of the country.
A sudden mud flood swept through the Gyirong port in China on August 26, following a severe natural disaster in neighboring Nepal. Videos capture the moment when a torrent of mud and debris invades and engulfs the border trade center, causing destruction in the region.
