Ukrainian child cancer patients and their families flown to Spain

AROUND 30 children with cancer were due to arrive Friday in Spain along with their families on a flight charted from Ukraine, Spanish president Pedro Sánchez announced.

He revealed late on Thursday that a military aircraft would be leaving the base in Zaragoza (Aragón), and returning with the Ukrainian children and their families at around 17.00 or 18.00.

Giving details of the evacuation plan at the refugee welcome and resettlement centre in the Madrid-region commuter town of Pozuelo de Alarcón, Sánchez said the air force had been working closely with the State Haematology and Oncology Society to ensure that each and every one of the children would be given full specialist care on arrival, and their health needs met during the journey.

Defence minister Margarita Robles was due to meet the returning plane, an A-400M, at the air force base in Torrejón de Ardoz (Greater Madrid region) and be on hand to help the young patients and their families when they landed.

Reporters and the general public were not to be allowed entry to the air base at the time, in order to protect the children's privacy.

They are expected to be seen almost immediately by paediatric cancer specialists to ensure their treatment is uninterrupted, and those who in the most serious condition and were hospitalised prior to leaving Ukraine will be admitted straight away into the correct facilities.

A reception committee from the Pozuelo refugee centre was due to be present when the aircraft landed to ensure all arrivals' initial needs were taken care of.

Further information on the refugees from Ukraine coming to Albox.

 We'll have the list when people are loaded on the two buses.

 There will be people who come with their suitcases and others who will have nothing.

 We will put the ages of the children and their needs and how many adults come.

 As the trip is long, it will give us time to collect what is needed for them.

 I will send you the list and indicate where to take it.

 To find accommodation, the person in charge is Marina, she works at the FAMMI company in Albox, who is paying for this transport, it is better to contact by email,
