A family of Syrian refugees arrives in Spain from Lebanon to be received in Córdoba

The family, comprising a man, his wife and their four children - three of them minors - to be taken in in Cordoba, arrived around 11 am at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport.

Following the arrival of these six refugees in Madrid on Tuesday, Spain has now received a total of 480 asylum-seekers, 201 under the re-location programme and 279 under the re-settlement programme.

The Spanish System for the Reception and Integration of applicants/beneficiaries of international protection offers its beneficiaries a stay at a reception centre of the Ministry of Employment and Social Security or of an NGO (subsidised by the government) at which they are guaranteed lodging, meals, legal advice, psychological assistance, social care and advice, accompaniment to education centres, public health and social centres, language learning and basic social skills, guidance and intermediation for vocational training and job reinsertion, cultural activities and economic aid.
