In the wake of the devastating DANA storm, the Valencian community has witnessed an overwhelming surge of volunteer support.

Over 15,000 volunteers gathered at the City of Arts and Sciences, eager to assist in the recovery efforts.

The Generalitat Valenciana organized the first group of 2,500 volunteers, who were dispatched in 90 buses to the most affected areas.

Despite the call for staggered participation, many volunteers continued to offer their help independently, equipped with essential tools and supplies.

The local authorities have coordinated efforts to manage the influx of volunteers, ensuring safety and efficiency in the cleanup operations.

The response has been described as 'brutal' in its magnitude, reflecting a profound sense of solidarity and resilience among the people of Valencia.
