Heavy rains in Spain’s Barcelona amid search for flood victims in Valencia

Spread The Viralist



The recurrent storms in eastern Spain that led to massive flooding last week and killed at least 217 people, mostly near Valencia, have dumped rain on Barcelona, prompting authorities to suspend commuter rail service.
Transport Minister Oscar Puente said on Monday that he was suspending all commuter trains in northeastern Catalonia, a region with 8 million people, at the request of civil protection officials.
Authorities in Barcelona warned of “extreme and continued rainfall” on the city’s southern outskirts, urging people to avoid any normally dry gorges or canals.
Classes were cancelled in Tarragona, a city in southern Catalonia about halfway between Barcelona and Valencia after a red alert for rains was issued.
Meanwhile, rescue teams in Valencia are still looking for victims of last week’s flash floods.
The number of people known to have died now stands at 217.

  1. To the deep pain of this whole dreadful event we must add the rage and repudiation towards the shameful management of the disaster by the regional government. A government that cancelled the UVE (Valencian Emergency Unit) a few months after taking power. The population received the emergency alert 8 hours late, when the water was already up to their necks. Lives could have been saved. A week later the chaos in the area is literally apocalyptic. Central Government, Monarchy? As if they did not exist. What is happening is very serious. To add to the indignation and delirium, there is massive looting of houses, cars and shops…. On the other hand, there is also the example of human quality that the population is demonstrating on the battlefield in terms of help and cooperation when they see that they have been left alone. Worthy of admiration and respect.

  2. Wasn't it Valencia's racist soccer fans that made monkey noises, yelled and chanted "MONO" and the N-word, and threw bananas at Vinicius Junior and other Black soccer players and that Spain was instrumental in the Transatlantic slave trade enslaving and transporting Yahuah's chosen people, the Israelites ? ??? KARMA

  3. Spain started the slave trade, and destroyed south america, murdered thousands and earased most of thier history. Some would call it karma

  4. 你們清理速度太慢,可以向國際請求援助,多一點山貓,卡車,挖土機。清太慢,下一次天災,還是會造成災難。還是會堵塞河道,淹水

  5. Over 1,000 Military Equipment Shipments From US To Israel 'Made Via Spain Port': Report

    An investigation has shown that Spain has allowed shipments of US arms to Israel via one of its ports, potentially contradicting Madrid's pro-Gaza stance.

  6. Greetings from Valencia. The situation here and in the surrounding villages is terrifying. The media are not reporting the real number of victims (dead and injured) or missing. There has been a series of political negligences that have led to this disaster, including warning of the emergency when the water was up to our necks or had already swept away cars, people and everything else in its path.

    We ask you from outside Spain to spread the word so that it is known and reaches where it needs to go, because what reaches outside Valencia is not even a tenth of what is happening. Thank you very much in advance. Greetings to everyone.💖

  7. If this happens in the great USA the wealthy will just move down to Mexico with their $$$, its your problems not their problems. This is why The USA is the greatest country in the world because the rich will just move on

  8. The news like to spin the stories to give a favorable image of Caucasian's behavior. The death toll is severly underreported, and stories of vast lootings and raping of women is completely ignored in favore of stories of cooperation. Not one image of a dead body was ecer shown. Let this occur in Latin America or Africa, and tge reporting will be the opposite.

  9. Most unfortunate….devasted by torrential down pour in a short time.
    The unity . empathy..of Spanish people from all parts … Madrid
    Barcelona…etc to the flood hit area.

    We Indians,,,convey our concern
    for the worst affected Spaniy
    brothers Sisters..mom's children

  10. YAH'S JUDGEMENT IS HERE to the nations who inflicted the people who went into slave ships in duet 28 vs 68 and I can only think of one nation of dark melinated people with woolly hair who fits the description of the biblical Israelites. Deuteronomy 28 vs 68. And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again, ((WITH SHIPS)), ((EGYPT IS SYNONYMOUS FOR ((HOUSE OF BONDAGE)) , LOOK IT UP! Deuteronomy 5:6

    “I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from ((THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE))

    Deuteronomy 28 vs 68. And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again, ((WITH SHIPS)) ((WITH SHIPS)) ((WITH SHIPS)) , by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your ((ENEMIES)) for bondmen and bondwomen. WHEN BLACKS GOT OFF THOSE SHIPS, WASNT THEY PUT ON AUCTION BLOCKS AS PROPERTY FOR SALE???? ((TURN YOUR AMERICAN DOLLAR BILL BACKWARDS AND YOU'LL SEE ITS SYMBOLISM OF MODERN EGYPT)) So now we know who the negroes are in the diaspora via transatlantic slave trade,

    via trans Saharan slave trade,. TRANS PACIFIC SLAVE TRADEThe nations or the governments never restored the Black people after all the atrocities that was done to them for over 400 years. No reparations systematic oppression police killing black folk, who are the Israelites of the Bible sundowntowns all the way back to public lynchings and putting it on postcards. The United States of America and the rest of the nations never apologize or restored the Negro Israelite, who is in the image of the creator himself God. JUDAH IS THE NEGRO AFRICAN AMERICANS BROUGHT ON THE TRANS ATLANTIC AND TRANS SAHARAN SLAVE TRADE AND TRANSPACIFIC SLAVE TRADE BY WHITES/ SPANIARDS AND ARABS IN DUET 28 VS 68, (ON SLAVE SHIPS) (THE HOLOCOST IS NOT IN ANY BIBLE) AND THE ((NEGROE NATIVE AMERICANS)) MAKEUP THE BLOOD DESCENT OF THE 12 TRIBES OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. Song of Solomon 1:5-17King James Version, I am ((BLACK)), but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. Look not upon me, because I am ((BLACK)),

    because the sun hath looked upon me: Daniel 7:9 gods hair texture “I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of Days sat down, whose garment was white as snow and the hair of His HEAD ((LIKE THE PURE WOOL)) ((NEGROE HAIR/ SHEEP TEXTURE)) ((NOT THIN STRINGY HAIR)) Daniel 10:6 his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire,

    and his arms and his feet like in ((COLOR)) to polished brass. Anyone got a penny in their pocket, brass and copper are two derivatives of the same color BROWN, which is the color of the ((NEGROE)) Revelation 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they ((BURNED)) in a furnace; and we all know our feet is the same color as the rest of our body. ((Job 30:30)) ((MY ((SKIN)) IS BLACK UPON ME)), And my bones are burned with heat. YAH IMAGE HIMSELF ((Revelation 4:3)) “And he that sat was to look upon like a ((JASPER AND A SARDINE STONE)). NOW THE JUDGEMENTS. Matthew 24:14

    And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

    Matthew 24:7

    For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. Matthew 24:8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. Revelation 8:7

    The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

    ((TODAYS WILDFIRES)) YOU ARE WITNESSING ESAU'S TROUBLE

  11. We need to plant more Native Trees in the Countrysides. Get rid of fire 🔥 fuelled invasive trees like Eucalyptus. Roots act like sponges so the soil doesn’t dry out as much and wash away.
