The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, spoke this Thursday with Venezuelan Vice President, Delcy Rodríguez, to convey Spain's solidarity after the devastating earthquakes that have struck Venezuela. The head of the Executive has expressed the Government's affection for the victims and their families, and has assured that Spain is prepared to help in emergency efforts.

The Government will send an airplane this Thursday with two urban search and rescue teams from the Military Emergency Unit (UME) and the Emergency and Immediate Response Team of the Community of Madrid (ERICAM). Personnel from the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) will also travel to assess humanitarian needs on the ground.

The call comes as Foreign Affairs works to locate the 68 Spaniards who are still unaccounted for after the earthquakes. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, José Manuel Albares, has asked Spaniards in Venezuela to contact the embassy or consulate, which remain operational despite the damage suffered at the consular headquarters.
