  "summary": "Ceuta was calm again two days after a large influx of migrants. Residents said they felt abandoned by Madrid, according to Le Monde English.\n\nThe massive entry of migrants into Ceuta was triggered by disinformation, said Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares, as reported by El Pais. He claimed there was a synchronized effort to amplify what was happening and spread lies and false news about the Schengen area.\n\nThere are different accounts of the number of migrants who arrived and the number of deaths. El Pais reported that Spanish authorities put the number of migrants at over 50,000, while Moroccan authorities put it at 40,000. The Spanish government reported 72 deaths, while authorities in Ceuta said 88 bodies had been recovered. Morocco reported 11 deaths.",
