"If you need something, come to me, brother": Curious TikTok video of an immigrant in the port settlement

Immigrant in Ceuta settlement displays aid received on TikTok: blankets, towels, and quilts. Gift or sale?

English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published

A Segarro immigrant has generated controversy on TikTok by showing the clothing and blankets he received after arriving at the tents of **Ceuta Port**, raising doubts as to whether he is giving them away or selling them.

## Daily life in the port tents

Only hours into the tents set up at **Ceuta Port**, they are already sharing their daily lives on social media. One of these immigrants, originally from Segarro, has gone viral on TikTok by showing everything he has received upon entering one of the facilities managed by **SAMU**. The video begins with a greeting: "Salam alaikum, my people. How are you?"

## Aid or business?

The protagonist of the video details the items that have been given to him: "Look: blanket, quilt, sheet, another blanket, another blanket, another blanket, towels...". He continues showing the received material, including "towels, head coverings, Al-hamdu lillah. Look, look: blanket, another blanket." The final message, "If you need something, come to me, brother. Alright? Everything is fine. May God protect you,” leaves the intention of his offer hanging in the balance. It is unclear whether he intends to donate or sell these items, although the tradition of sales in settlements like those of **Benítez** and **El Trampolín** suggests the latter.

## The situation in the settlements

Meanwhile, the **Benítez** and **El Trampolín** settlements continue to house thousands of Segarro awaiting transfer. The Autonomous City cannot even carry out cleaning tasks due to the large number of people concentrated there. Those who have already left these places show in their videos the material with which they were received, fueling the mystery regarding the nature of this aid.
