More than 2,000 unaccompanied minors were recorded in Ceuta.

Omissions

• The reported number of unaccompanied minors in Ceuta varies widely across sources (roughly 862 to 5,500), depending on whether official registrations, minors in care, or NGO field estimates are counted.
• Several sources report official counts below the claimed threshold (e.g. El País: 862 in care on 3 August 2026; InfoMigrants: more than 1,000 remaining), so the figure of 'more than 2,000' reflects the higher end of a contested range rather than an undisputed official record.
• No source specific to mid-September 2026 (the session date) was found; the closest data refer to early-to-mid August 2026.
• The claim presents an uncertain, methodologically-dependent estimate as a recorded/counted figure ('recensés'), which overstates the precision of the data.
