There isn't any news on that matter. The Casa Real's last update was on Christmas eve, before the earthquake. I'll browse around to see if there's news somewhere else about it.

Source (In Spanish) - http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2005/0...104777976.html

According to Elmundo, there's no confirmation of death of any Spaniard on the disaster, although there is one in the Hospital and a total of 6 reported missing.

It's really strange that the SRF haven't said anything so far.... I'll keep looking.

Tomorrow, the Princes of Asturias shall go to Alicante, in order to say goodbye to the ship "Galicia", that will weigh anchor on humanitarian mission to South Asia.

The Galicia's crew will give help to Asia's devastated areas, after the tsunami waves.

The Galicia is going to the Indonesian island of Sumatra, transporting medical and logistic stuff, along with a load of 60 tons of material, which includes food, medical equipment and chemical agents, for the purification of water. The "Galicia" also carries three helicopters, to make possible the transportation of help to the most inaccessible places. It has, in addition, an important hospitable capacity with a unit of intensive cares.

The Prince has said some encouraging words to the participants in the operation, declaring the support of the Crown and the admiration of the Spanish people.

Felipe added that the Princes' presence in the act responded to their desire of transmitting support to the authorities, volunteers and Spaniards of good heart mobilized in this answer to help the victims of the tidal wave, who need us now more than ever.
