Emergency services have rescued a 12-year-old child alive and continue to search for an adult who accompanied him, and who has disappeared in a cave on Rojas beach in El Sauzal (Tenerife), after both fell into the sea this Saturday due to strong waves.
The 112 Emergency and Security Coordination Center has reported that this afternoon, at around 4:45 p.m., an alert call was received from an off-duty National Police officer, in which he reported that two people, including a minor, had fallen into the sea due to the strong waves on the aforementioned beach.
