El Hierro needs beds and medical staff. How quickly can Spain deliver?
El Hierro has expanded emergency care into an assembly hall after more than 3,300 arrivals since November began. The test now is how quickly Spain can deliver shelter, staff and onward transport.
What we knew first
- Medical staff have been brought from other islands, and El Hierro’s emergency department has expanded into an assembly hall.
Still open then
- The current number of people needing accommodation on El Hierro, and the quantities, funding and delivery dates for further national assistance, remain unestablished.
We said we'd watch for
- Whether the November 10 meeting produces specific shelter, healthcare and transfer commitments with delivery dates.
