Happy to have been able to help alleviate the suffering of many, the 56 members of the military emergency unit (UME) of Spain, spent to Morocco to help in rescue missions following the Al Haouz devastating earthquake, have now returned to their home country after 11 days of help.
Despite the fact that the architectural typology of the buildings and walls prevented the formation of air pockets after the collapse of buildings, the head of the Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) team of the UME, Enrique Bascuas, stated that they never lost hope of finding people alive.
The Spanish team worked hand in hand with Moroccan authorities, trying to rescue bodies in what they described to be a “delicate and sad” task.
According to El Periodico media, Bascuas stated that certain citizens, including both civilians and military workers, were encouraging and consistently showed their love for the Spanish rescue forces.
