The photo of a Civil Guard diver rescuing a baby from the water is one such image, as is the photo of a young Red Cross volunteer hugging a distressed migrant who arrived on Tuesday. In the video, Red Cross volunteer Luna Reyes Segura and a soldier help the migrant sit up, seemingly so that he can expel the water he swallowed. Reyes Segura tries to calm him down and asks if he is okay. “He didn’t stop hugging me, he clung to me like a clam and just cried,” Reyes Segura told state broadcaster TVE in an interview. To counter the abuse, social media users rushed to express their support for Reyes Segura with the hashtag #GraciasLuna, or #ThankyouLuna.
