Spain is the third largest contributor to the Haiti relief effort. After an earthquake on January 12, Spain immediately provided generous support and aid. As of February 19, Spain had sent 26 planes full of humanitarian supplies. They also deployed 450 physicians, nurses and engineers as well as security forces aboard the ship Castilla. It is estimated that Spain's net contribution is 158.861 million Euros (215 million US dollars).
Spain's hospital equipped ship, Castilla, has been very useful in helping with medical needs. It was equipped with 68 beds, surgical equipment, two medical teams, psychological, dental, veterinary, and preventive medicinal services.
Spain has provided additional relief as well. A wide range of assistance, such as material, military, sanitary, economic, private and more was contributed.
