Thousands of volunteers also joined in, delivering essential supplies and participating in widespread cleanup efforts across the region.
GPH, which has always shown strong commitment to local communities, has expressed deep sympathy for the victims and affected communities, offering condolences to the families and individuals facing unimaginable losses. The company has decided to donate €250,000 directly to the Valencian regional government. This contribution will be used to support search and rescue operations, as well as facilitate the reconstruction of the damaged areas. GPH has also ensured that its support is directed and focused, aiming to meet the urgent needs of the maritime community and the most affected local populations.
Javier Rodriguez Sanchez, Regional Director of GPH for the West Med & Asia, stated that GPH’s thoughts are with all those affected by the tragedy, emphasizing the company’s commitment to standing by communities during times of crisis. He also expressed gratitude to the rescue teams, volunteers, and local authorities for their tireless efforts in helping the region.
