In response to the devastating DANA storm in Valencia, the Generalitat has implemented strict travel restrictions to facilitate emergency operations.

The death toll has risen to 211, prompting the creation of five immediate response groups.

Citizens are urged to avoid driving in affected areas to ensure clear roads for emergency services.

The CECOPI has restricted access to key roads until Sunday midnight, allowing only essential travel.

Despite the solidarity shown by volunteers, authorities stress the importance of keeping roads clear for heavy machinery and emergency vehicles.

A new volunteer coordination center will be established to manage aid efforts effectively.
