Palma's mini tent city: order at the harbor - but how sustainable is the solution?

Answer
Is the temporary migrant shelter at Palma harbor a long-term solution?
No, the shelter at Palma harbor is mainly a short-term tool to create order and manage arrivals. It helps with immediate reception, but it does not solve the wider migration route, the registration gaps, or the legal and humanitarian issues behind it.
