Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez ordered the country’s largest military deployment in peacetime to help deal with severe flooding.
According to officials, 5,000 more soldiers have been deployed to deal with the situation after at least 211 people were killed in the eastern, southern and central regions.
However, critics say his government’s record on compensating disaster victims is poor. Many people are reportedly still waiting for financial help after the longest and most destructive volcanic eruption of 2021 on the Spanish island of La Palma, which killed one person and claimed some €843 million, about $917 million.
However, the President of the Government has said at this time that his Government has deployed “the largest contingent of armed forces and police ever deployed in Spain for relief work.”
People “received help to reach their flooded homes, streets and industrial areas.” However, many people are still waiting for help, and authorities say many are missing after this week’s torrential rains and related storm system caused devastating flooding.
Employees work day and night to clear debris from the roads and drain water from the basement.
In the midst of human suffering and sorrow, Archbishop Enrique Benavente of Valencia, the hardest hit, has called on Christians to “remain in faith and hope.”
Thousands of volunteers have continued to work in solidarity for the flood-affected people and therefore there is hope that residents of the flood-affected areas will soon be able to resume their lives.
