The recent DANA storm has wreaked havoc across Spain, particularly in the Comunidad Valenciana, where emergency services are working tirelessly to manage the aftermath.
The military's emergency unit, led by General Javier Marcos, has been deployed to assist in the recovery efforts, although they require authorization from local emergency directors to enter affected areas.
The storm has resulted in significant infrastructure damage, with over 215 confirmed fatalities and ongoing searches for missing persons.
The government is implementing measures to support affected workers and businesses, including employment protection and financial aid.
Meanwhile, fraudulent activities have emerged, with scams targeting those willing to donate to relief efforts.
The Amancio Ortega Foundation has pledged 100 million euros to aid municipalities impacted by the storm.
As the nation grapples with the disaster, calls for a national emergency declaration and additional social protections are intensifying.
