  "account": "A Spanish police report has revealed that Moroccan forces displayed \"total permissiveness\" during the massive migrant rush into Ceuta, Spain's North African enclave, in July. The report, released by the Spanish National Centre for Immigration and Borders (CENIF), detailed how Moroccan police made \"no serious attempt\" to control the influx of over 70,000 migrants who crossed from Morocco between July 30 and 31, 2023. Satellite images showed a lack of police or military presence at the border, and migrants interviewed claimed they were offered instructions to enter the territory by water. The chaotic event left scores dead, primarily from drowning attempts. This revelation could embarrass Spain's leftist government, which has avoided blaming Morocco and sought to maintain good relations with Rabat.",
