The Institución Ferial de Madrid (IFEMA), commonly known as the Madrid Convention Center, has been transformed into a vital field hospital to treat COVID-19 patients. 🏥 With two exhibition halls already packed with patients and a third one undergoing refurbishment, the center has become a beacon of hope in these challenging times.
Leading the charge is Captain Izard from the sappers of the paratrooper brigade. He and his dedicated team of around 40 people work tirelessly from dawn to dusk, setting up beds, outfitting facilities, and managing logistics to ensure that the hospital runs smoothly. 🚑💪
As the strain on the city's hospitals continues, the team at IFEMA must work hard, swiftly, and efficiently to meet the growing demand for medical care. Despite the immense pressure, Captain Izard remains hopeful. He wishes for the crisis to finally come to an end so he can travel to Seville and visit his family. 🌟👨👩👧👦
