More than 100 people died and more than 80,000 irregular migrants crossed into Ceuta.

• Reported arrival figures vary widely across sources: El País cites 80,000 entrants, the UK Commons Library 'over 70,000', ABC News 'nearly 60,000' and BBC Mundo about 50,000, so 'more than 80,000' is at or slightly above the top of the reported range.
• The death toll is contested and evolved over time: CNN/ABC reported 67 (31 July), Euronews 88 (3 August), RTVE 82 in Spain plus at least 14 on the Moroccan side (7 August), while Cadena SER reported 141 (4 August). Not all sources support a toll above 100.
• No primary/official source (Spanish Ministry of Interior, Guardia Civil, Eurostat, or Ceuta authorities) could be located in the search results; all figures come from journalistic reporting.
• The exact figure behind the claim is not attributed by the MEP, and the sources cited are all secondary, so the precise totals cannot be independently corroborated.
