Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said of the eight Australians affected by the terrorist attack in Las Ramblas, four have been injured, three have required consular support and one is unaccounted for.
“Of the four injured, that includes one woman, who is from New South Wales in a stable condition, but was seriously injured,” Ms Bishop told reporters Friday afternoon.
“A second woman, also from NSW, is in a serious condition in hospital. She was travelling on a British passport.”
She also said two young men from Victoria were injured, but have been discharged from hospital after treatment.
“I have spoken to the Spanish ambassador to Australia and conveyed to him the condolence of the Australian Government and the Australian people and reaffirmed our commitment to stand with Spain at this terrible time.”
She said travel advice has been updated, and that travellers should take caution.
“Again, I remind Australians that if you are worried about loved ones or families, please try and get in touch with them directly, but if you are unable to do so, and you are calling from Australia, the number is 1300 555 135.”
