Evangelical Federation Calls for Support Following Deadly Spanish Train Collision
Based on 2 sources
A high-speed train collision between a Renfe AVE train and an Iryo train occurred Wednesday near Urda in Spain’s Toledo province. Reports on the death toll vary, with some sources citing at least 39 fatalities while others report 68 deaths. The incident, which involved the derailment of at least two carriages, is currently under investigation by authorities, with the transport minister noting potential "inexplicable circumstances" behind the crash.
The Federation of Evangelical Religious Entities of Spain (FEREDE) has issued a statement expressing condolences to the victims and their families. The organization is calling on evangelical churches, particularly those in the Castilla-La Mancha, Madrid, and Andalusia regions, to provide support to survivors and those affected by the tragedy. FEREDE also requested a rigorous and transparent investigation into the accident, which marks the second major rail disaster in Spain this year following a January crash in Córdoba that resulted in 45 or 46 deaths.
