Spanish town rallies to help victims of deadly train crash

The small Spanish town of Urda mobilized to assist victims of a devastating train crash, which occurred on Wednesday near the town. The 78-year-old pharmacist from Urda, Antonio Garcia, was among the first responders after learning of the accident involving two high-speed trains. Garcia, along with other locals, utilized his pharmacy to provide first aid supplies, painkillers, and tranquillisers, as well as blankets to the injured.

Among the casualties, the elderly patient with a lost arm was heard asking for an ambulance, while others bid farewell to their loved ones. One survivor spoke the words, "God is good," which touched those present. Shortly after the crash, Urda became a hub for emergency personnel from the region, and the local sports hall transformed into a center for survivors. The primary school was reserved for relatives of victims, where a volunteer psychologist from Madrid was on hand to provide support.

Many families made the difficult journey from Madrid to Urda to search for their loved ones. Ana, a woman who lost her husband, described her emotional search for him at the crash site, the sports hall, and the primary school, as she learned his name was not on any list.
