It is the neighbors themselves who are organizing to help the people who live in the most affected houses, with particular attention to the elderly.
“We contacted the Provincial Deputation of Valencia because the situation is brutalbut for the moment the Picasset Town Hall will only send us a van with groceries because it knows the characteristics of the town,” declared councilor PP.
