President Pedro Sánchez greeted members of the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) START team at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport upon their return from a healthcare mission in Venezuela. The team, deployed in two two-week rotations, treated over 4,000 patients at a field hospital in Caracas following earthquakes on 24 June. Sánchez thanked the 90 emergency workers for their efforts. The mission included medical specialties such as primary care, A&E, paediatrics, orthopaedics, and diagnostic support. The Spanish government allocated €1 million to the Red Cross, sent €300,000 in supplies via Colombia, and approved €500,000 in additional aid. It also contributed to global emergency funds and deployed rescue teams with support from the Ministry of Defence, Civil Protection, and other agencies.
