Several European nations will push for a stronger border between the European Union and the world at a special meeting on Tuesday.
The talks were hastily arranged after more than 50,000 migrants swept over and around the border separating the North African Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco on Thursday.
At least 72 people died during the mass influx, local officials said on Sunday. Most of the people who rushed into Spain's North African territory have returned to Morocco since the territory's largest mass migrant crossing.
"The latest figure that we have is 72," the government's delegate to Ceuta, Miguel Angel Perez Triano, told reporters, when asked about the number of fatalities.
