At least 158 people are now known to have died after flash floods hit parts of Spain, particularly devastating communities in Valencia.

Almost all the deaths – 155 – have been recorded in the region, with two more in Castilla-La Mancha and another, a British man, in Andalusia.

Emergency teams are continuing to search for those missing and hundreds of soldiers have been deployed to Valencia to assist with the operation.

  1. From a Spanish teen girl: don't believe Pedro Sanchez or anyone that says that the government wanted to help.

    Our king Felipe wanted to send all his soldiers and guards to Valencia, the government said no, so barely nothing was done.

    Valencia was left without food or water for three days, the French police were THE FIRSTS to arrive Valencia, and there are videos proving it (they appear in shock, of course, when people confirm that the Spanish police hasn't arrived yet).

    Be careful with the information you read, I would recommend reading the spanish news paper (there are less chances that the information is wrong), bit still, be careful.

  2. 3 days AFTER and the spanish government had only sent 500 military! It is All volunteers getting there on foot, bringing supplies and helping cleaning because our government is doing NOTHING. Criminals is what they are.
    There will be thousands of deaths

  3. The Spanish government is leaving us to die on our own. 4 days later the aid arrived, 4 days! People died locked in their cars, drowned. This has to be known.

  4. I'm from Spain and I feel devastated how the Dana is destroying Valencia and it's people… I wish i could do something, but I can't… Sending prayers for everyone affected ❤😢😓 FORÇA VALENCIA!❤

  5. Spain, Ireland and Norway just lately voted to recognise a "palestinian state" The LORD God of Israel will not be mocked by those who wish to divide up His land. A judgement will also come upon Ireland and Norway for supporting Arab terrorists ( so called palestinians)

  6. The Spanish authorities have done nothing until the 3rd day, they didn't send aid from the army because didn't want other countries to see the dimensions of the catastrophe.for 3days the help to the devastated area was only from individuals. Also they have rejected the help from France, Argentina and El Salvador amongs other. Totally outrages. A totally incompetent government that just are thrown the ball to the contrary party… they must go and put people that really cares about the country and not their pockets … totally ashamefull !!!!dead people 200+ expecting to rise..😢😢😢
