In the wake of recent devastating floods in Spain, thousands of volunteers are stepping up to provide crucial assistance in affected areas. Armed with shovels and enthusiasm, they travel from various locations to help with relief efforts, despite facing criticism and logistical challenges. Volunteer leader Maria Paz Ramos expresses concern over sustaining this momentum, as the initial excitement may fade. Meanwhile, tensions have surfaced between volunteers and official response teams. As the government deploys 10,000 soldiers and police to aid in rescue operations and maintain order, public frustration over crisis management becomes evident during the visit of King Felipe VI.
