Three days after historic flash floods ravaged several towns in southern Valencia, in eastern Spain, the initial shock has given way to anger, frustration, and a wave of solidarity. Many streets remain blocked by piled-up vehicles and debris, trapping residents in their homes. Some areas still lack electricity, running water, and stable telephone connections.
Residents have turned to the media to appeal for help, highlighting the dire situation. The disaster has claimed 158 lives so far, with many more missing and feared trapped in wrecked vehicles or flooded garages. Search and rescue efforts are ongoing, with security forces and soldiers working tirelessly.
