Valencia Floods: Missing Persons and Volunteers Step Up

In the aftermath of devastating floods in Valencia, Spain, social media platforms have become a lifeline for families searching for missing loved ones. With at least 217 confirmed deaths and more rain forecasted, hope is fading for those still unaccounted for. A remarkable rescue story emerged with a woman found alive after three days trapped in her car. However, the government's overwhelmed hotline has led families to turn to social media, such as DANA Desaparecidos, to share photos and details of missing persons.Volunteers and emergency workers are tirelessly cleaning up, but frustration is growing among residents who feel the government's response has been slow and inadequate. Despite the challenges, volunteers like Pedro de Juan, 18, are stepping up to help, highlighting the resilience of the community.
