In the wake of severe flooding that has claimed over 200 lives in Spain’s Valencia region, the government has announced an emergency aid package worth €10.6 billion. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez pledged direct financial support for affected families, with payments ranging from €20,000 to €72,000. The government will also fully cover emergency expenditures for local communities. Despite ongoing recovery efforts involving nearly 15,000 personnel, many areas remain inaccessible due to mud. Frustration among survivors grows as some allege slow responses to warnings and rescue operations, leading to protests against authorities.
