Near where I live, this week has been a total disaster. Many towns were flooded and destroyed because of a cold drop. For those who don't know, it's a big storm. In the south of València, in one night rained what should rain IN A YEAR.
So far there are 160 people dead and tons of people haven't been found yet.
Streets look like a cemetery of cars, there is no running water or electricity, and some towns don't have signal. Citizens don't know what to do and the government isn't doing anything. All help comes from local mayors, NGOs and volunteers.
This all could have been avoided if the government cared. Months ago, the right-wing government from València had removed an Emergency Unit specialized in those things, just to save up costs and spend them in bull fighting. Even worse, they knew the flood would happen, and they only sent the alert hours after towns were flooded, just so they could end their shift in peace. In some towns it didn't even rain, it was a big wave that came from towns in higher latitude like a tsunami. So many people were just walking or driving in the street and got trapped.
This is not over, the storm will continue to other parts of Spain. It will not be as strong fortunately. My city had a Red alert, but it's only for the docks area, so I'm safe.
Most of the help needed is people going there and helping out with bringing food, cleaning out everything... Most donations are made through Bizum or bank transfer. I have found a place where you can donate internationally, if you can help, it'd be great.
