Red Cross: sandwiches in Ceuta, but not in Paiporta

Ceuta and Paiporta: the double standard of humanitarian aid

Controversy has erupted in Ceuta: while sandwiches are being handed out to some migrants, questions keep piling up. Why are some given aid and not others? And where does the money come from? The answer, though uncomfortable, connects with the ghost of the DANA: in Paiporta, the presence of humanitarian organizations was perceived as insufficient, even though television networks raised millions in emergency fundraising campaigns. The contrast reopens the debate on transparency and the real destination of the funds.

The money behind the sandwiches

The funding of these actions is opaque. No public figures have been provided on the cost of the distribution in the autonomous city or on its origin. The suspicion that resources are used based on political or media criteria fuels distrust. Those who defend the aid point out that humanitarian assistance cannot be conditioned on nationality, but the lack of transparency works against them.

Paiporta, the wound that won't heal

The DANA flooding in Valencia left behind a legacy of distrust. While television networks launched fundraising campaigns, the presence on the ground was perceived as insufficient. Now, in Ceuta, the scene of the sandwiches brings that absence back to memory. There are no official data confirming the abandonment, but perception weighs heavily. The question lingers: where are the NGOs when Spain floods?

The discussion has no clear ending. The only certainty is that the cost of poor coordination and opacity is paid in credibility. And the crow remains perched, waiting.
