Emergency personnel have resumed this Sunday the search for the minor who disappeared yesterday when he was bathing on Las Gaviotas beach in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in an incident in which two other minors were rescued and treated in health centers.
The 112 Emergency and Security Coordination Center has reported that the search device has resumed this Sunday under the coordination of the Civil Guard, and with the participation of Maritime Rescue.
The emergency resources were activated yesterday after receiving a notice that lifeguards from the Beach service of the Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council carried out by the Red Cross had come to the aid of a group of young people at sea.
The lifeguards verified that three young people had hit the rocks and two of them had gotten out of the water by their own means, without the third being located.
After providing initial assistance, the sanitary ambulance of the Red Cross and the Local Police transferred the two affected, minors, to the Anaga Health Center.
From there, one of them, after being stabilized, was evacuated in the same ambulance to the Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria University Hospital with symptoms of near drowning.
In the search device deployed on Saturday, a rescue helicopter from the Emergency and Rescue Group of the Government of the Canary Islands (GES), a Helimer helicopter and a Salvamar boat from Maritime Rescue and a boat and the Special Group of Underwater Activities (GEAS) of the Civil Guard intervened.
In addition, the Local Police, the National Police and Civil Protection participated in the same tasks in a device that deployed resources by land, sea and air in the search work on the coast.
