Spain dispatched five additional emergency rescue teams to Morocco to assist with the earthquake aftermath.
The new rescue teams were mobilized on Monday from the Civil Guard, the National Police, the General Government of Catalonia, and the local councils of Granada and Madrid, and will arrive in the affected areas today, according to a statement from the Spanish Embassy.
The five Spanish rescue teams include 31 rescue personnel, 15 dogs, and 11 vehicles. These components are additional to those that have previously been dispersed in the area since last Saturday.
Spain dispatched on Sunday 56 military rescuers and four search dogs to Morocco following an official request for assistance.
Spain made its Military Emergencies Unit (UME), humanitarian groups, and embassies available to Morocco to ease the crisis and preserve as many lives as possible.
Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, expressed his sympathy to the people of Morocco on Saturday, saying, “All my solidarity with the people of Morocco in the face of the tragic earthquake. The victims of this tragedy and their families have the support of Spain.”
