Spain Mobilizes Aid After Deadly Storm

Published: 2024-10-30

Spain is reeling from a devastating DANA storm that has claimed at least 92 lives in Valencia, with additional fatalities in Castilla-La Mancha and Málaga.

In response, President Pedro Sánchez has declared three days of national mourning and pledged to mobilize all necessary resources, including European Union aid, to support affected regions.

The government will declare the hardest-hit areas as "zones highly affected by natural phenomena" to expedite assistance.

Sánchez emphasized the importance of unity and collaboration among all political parties and administrations to ensure swift recovery efforts.

Citizens in affected areas are urged to exercise caution as the storm continues to pose threats.

The government has already deployed significant emergency resources, including military and police forces, to assist in recovery operations.
