Emergency services have resumed the search on Thursday for a man missing in the Ugán ravine, Fuerteventura, after he became trapped by the rising tide.

The operation is focusing on aerial resources, with three helicopters involved: one from Imer, another from the Guardia Civil, and a third from the Canary Islands Government's Emergency and Rescue Group (GES). The incident occurred on Wednesday when the man was attempting to cross a cove and was caught by strong waves and the rapid rise of the sea level.
Rescue teams are maintaining the active search operation and are awaiting any clues that may help locate the missing individual. No further details regarding the exact circumstances of the incident have been released at this time.
