Overview

  • Divers examined a fresh 2,000-square-meter section upstream of Algemesí, navigating depths of three to four meters with weighted rope lanes.
  • Land detachments and Unidad Militar de Emergencias teams maintain permanent searches in Pedralba, Chiva and the Albufera.
  • Underwater operations rely on autonomous breathing gear and limited side-scan sonar due to low visibility, curbing drone deployment.
  • The mission seeks the remains of José Javier Vicent, Elizabeth Gil and Francisco Ruiz, all legally declared deceased since the October 29 flood.
  • New search sites such as the Acequia Real channel were identified through Guardia Civil intelligence monitoring riverbed shifts.
