Valencia Struggles with Aftermath of Devastating Floods
Weeks after severe flooding in Valencia, Spain, the region remains strewn with tens of thousands of damaged vehicles, a stark reminder of the disaster. Over 200 fatalities have been reported, with many still missing. Flooding caused by the DANA weather phenomenon resulted in approximately 137,000 vehicles being damaged. While military and volunteers have mobilized for cleanup efforts, the sheer volume of wrecked cars has hindered progress. Regional President Carlos Mazón has acknowledged mistakes in the emergency response, pledging cooperation with a parliamentary investigation into the authorities’ actions during the crisis.
