00:03En el 27 de octubre, protestas en Ceuta
00:07attempted a bloque Red Cross vehículos
00:09delivering food to migrants
00:11amid growing hostility
00:13towards the organisation.
00:15Amid the protests,
00:16the humanitarian organisation
00:18has been the target of false
00:19and misleading claims
00:21that have circulated online.
00:23One video shared more than 13,000 times
00:26supposedly showed men
00:28being transferred from Ceuta
00:29to mainland Spain.
00:31But it's false.
00:32The footage was recorded
00:34on El Trampolin Beach in Ceuta
00:36and shows the Red Cross
00:37distributing food to around 2,000 migrants.
00:41We can tell that by looking at this footage,
00:43which was published several days earlier
00:45by Spanish news agency Europa Press
00:47and shows a different angle of the Red Cross
00:50and other charity organisations
00:52distributing food to migrants
00:54on the 3rd of August.
00:55Other posts accuse the Red Cross
00:57of assisting migrants
00:58while abandoning Spanish citizens
01:00affected by wildfires.
01:02Such as this post here,
01:04which says that the charity
01:05failed to help Spanish people
01:06impacted by the blazes,
01:08and this one,
01:09which says the same thing
01:10about the wildfires
01:11and the 2024 flooding in Valencia.
01:14However, records from the organisation
01:16show it did provide assistance
01:18in the aftermath of both disasters.
01:20It says that by the 24th of August,
01:23it mobilised more than 938 staff
01:26and volunteers this summer
01:28as fires ravaged the Iberian Peninsula,
01:31provided assistance nearly 6,900 times,
01:34and gave temporary accommodation
01:36to more than 5,600 people.
01:39Its efforts also began
01:40immediately in the aftermath
01:42of the catastrophic flooding in 2024.
01:44By the first anniversary of the disaster,
01:47it reported having assisted
01:48more than 143,000 people
01:51through emergency relief
01:53and longer-term recovery programmes.
