Emergency services conducted separate rescue operations in Argentina and Spain involving elderly individuals in distress.

In the Puna region of Argentina, police and medical personnel traveled 18 kilometers through steep terrain in Barrancas to reach and stabilize a 75-year-old woman experiencing stroke symptoms. In Allande, Spain, firefighters from the Asturias Emergency Service rescued a 73-year-old man who had become trapped in a wine vat in Carcedo de Lomes. The man reported he was drowning due to gases and grape residue; rescuers extracted him by tilting the vat horizontally. He was transported to a hospital without serious injuries.
