The Spanish team, comprising thirteen individuals and canine units, is engaged in "searching for people and inspecting rubble and collapsed buildings" in the area designated as ground zero for the catastrophe. The NGO shared on social media that they are experiencing "extreme situations" and hope "to find light in every corner we search."
The mission includes the transport of over two tons of equipment and logistical material aimed at facilitating victim rescue and care, as well as providing medical support and assessing needs for future recovery phases.
“"We are experiencing extreme situations and hope to find light in every corner we search."
The Diputación de Córdoba reported that the operation, which recently departed, includes a canine handler with their dog and two specialist rescuers. These personnel previously contributed their expertise in similar interventions in Morocco in 2023 and Ecuador in 2016.
This deployment is part of the collaboration agreement between the Diputación and Bomberos Unidos sin Fronteras, which covers emergency aid for catastrophes. The president of the provincial institution, Salvador Fuentes, acknowledged "the work and dedication of these three members, contributing to saving lives and supporting the affected population during these particularly difficult times."
