MELILLA, SPAIN - JANUARY 22: Syrian refugees who were staying at the Temporary Immigration Centre (CETI) wait for getting their passports and tickets at the the Ferry Terminal of Melilla where they will board a cruise bound to Malaga on the Spanish mailland on January 22, 2015 in Melilla, Spain. According to Spanish Police approximately 2,400 from the 5,000 immigrants entering Melilla last year were Syrians seeking asylum in various European countries. The majority of those now housed in Temporary Immigration Centres (CETI) in Ceuta and Melilla have escaped from war in Syria. According to the last official figures released by the Spanish Authorities, 1,300 immigrants are living at the Temporary Immigration Centre of Melilla, four times its capacity of 480 people. About 840 Syrian refugees are among them outnumbering Sub-Sahara immigrants for the first time since these camps were built. (Photo by David Ramos/Getty Images)
