Last month, Cruz Red provided services at María Zambrano station in the capital of Málaga, covering shelter and consumables for 160 people affected by the power outage.
They also made available four ambulance transport networks and an advanced life support ambulance system at the Logistics Center located in the Campanillas neighborhood of Malaga.
According to statements to Europe Press, Cruz Red Malaga coordinator, Samuel Linares, communicated with the 112 Emergency Coordination Center upon learning of the incident, resulting in ambulance vehicles being dispatched to Malaga Capital and Marbella.
They emphasized that attention was being provided at the bus station, and although individuals had the opportunity to find a place to spend the night, there was no significant overcrowding.
However, they highlighted that at María Zambrano station in the capital, there were «a significant number of travelers who did not have hotel resources, lacked assistance networks, were going to spend the night at the station, but the station was not prepared for such eventualities.»
Therefore, assistance for these individuals was relocated to the train station, involving the installation of beds, distribution of blankets, as well as food and hygiene kits. By Tuesday, they were already doubled up, with a preventive device in place for any eventuality.
Cruz Red reminded that they have an agreement with the Andalusian Emergency Agency (EMA) recognizing their role in public protection emergency plans activated by the Andalusian Government.
Despite communication difficulties, Cruz Red managed to mobilize hundreds of volunteers, dozens of ambulances, logistical teams, support vehicles, and organize the distribution of essential items such as blankets and food.
From the early hours of the 28th to the 29th, the humanitarian organization assisted hundreds of people forced to spend the night at train stations and activated shelters due to the inability to move, including in different stations, Malaga Capital included.
Assistance was also provided at the stations in the capital of Córdoba, serving 1,000 individuals, Villanueva de Córdoba with 400 people, and Linar pavilion with 110 people.
In Córdoba’s capital, surface volunteers offered aid and distributed nearly 800 half-liter bottles of water to 400 passengers on a train immobilized in Vedón, Villarrabia neighborhood, on the 28th.
Cruz Red immediately mobilized 20 ambulances in nearly all Andalusian provinces, making them available for urgent medical transfers and the transportation of dependent individuals.
Advanced life support units (UVI Mobil) were activated, and coordination and assistance personnel from services 112 and 061 were deployed in all provinces.
With communications restored on Tuesday, Cruz Red volunteers in Andalusia will also be responsible for contacting the elderly, especially those experiencing unwanted loneliness, to monitor their situation and provide emotional support.
