I was asked to add this to the forum by one of our members who said she was proud to be living in Spain - hear hear!
From TellerReport:
Some thirty children with cancer from Ukraine arrive in Madrid this Friday on an army plane to continue their treatment in Spain.
On Tuesday, help was requested and in just three days

[align=justify][size=small][color=#212529][font=Segoe UI], immediately got down to work to speed up the entire process.

"We have the plane," she repeated to herself over and over again in the messages that the promoters of the initiative enthusiastically sent each other throughout Tuesday.
[align=justify]The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, confirmed this Thursday that the first group of kids with their families will arrive tomorrow, Friday , on an army plane that will land in Madrid and distribute patients to four hospitals in the capital.

[size=small][color=#212529][font=Segoe UI][color=#212529][font=Segoe UI]In total, Spain could receive around a hundred children with cancer.
[align=justify]Other countries such as the United Kingdom and Israel have also responded to the call of the International Society of Pediatric Oncology.
[align=justify][size=small]Sánchez made the announcement during a visit to one of the three large reception and reception centers for Ukrainian refugees, the one located in Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid).
[align=justify][size=small]"We want to give special attention to children with illnesses so that they can be treated properly and with all the guarantees in the health network of our country," explained the president.
[color=#212529][font=Segoe UI][size=small][color=#212529][font=Segoe UI][color=#212529][font=Segoe UI]In principle, during the first four days, these minors and their families will stay in hotels in the capital, but permanent accommodation is already being sought for them in the cities where they will receive medical care.

On Tuesday, help was requested and in just three days
a complex logistical and health device has been put into operation to make possible the arrival in Spain this Friday, from Krakow (Poland), of thirty children with cancer along with their families , to be treated and welcomed by various hospitals where they can continue their treatments.
[size=small]The demand came from the Spanish Society of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology (SEHOP), which had in turn received a distress call from its international counterparts (SIOP), concerned about the situation faced by patients after the invasion of Russia .
[align=justify]After 14 days of war, some Ukrainian cities have been left without electricity and running water, and Russian army bombs have even fallen on hospitals, causing deaths and rendering facilities and equipment useless, forcing health personnel and patients to seek refuge in the basements of buildings.
[align=justify][size=small]In the midst of the horror of war there are people especially vulnerable to precariousness.
[align=justify][size=small]For a child with cancer, interrupting his treatment even for a few days means assuming a high risk
