In the mud and absolute devastation, in some municipalities devastated by DANA in Valencia, good news is coming. Those that push neighbors to continue fighting to face a historic catastrophe.
Three people were saved alive this Friday morning in a section located between the towns of Quart de Poblet and Riba-roja de Túria, the area where last Tuesday the overflowing Poyo ravine took everything away.
Four days laterthere were still survivors among the missing. It was announced a few hours later by the mayor of the latter commune, Robert Raga, while bringing the number of deaths in the population to four.
Very similar situation to that which the Benetússer rescue teams also experienced this Friday. “We found a living person inside his car,” communicated, to applause, the Moncada city councilor and head of the city’s Civil Protection, Martín Pérez, to hundreds of volunteers of this body from all of Spain which has established itself these days among the Valencian population.
As ABC has learned, the troops managed to eliminate a woman locked in her vehicleburied by many others swept away by the flood, since the day of the tragedy.
The victim was still alive and his call for help We heard them as the operation began to evacuate the cars piled up in the middle of the street. After helping her, she was treated by the health services.
The municipal pavilion of Moncada became a base post to coordinate members of the Civil Protection before going to ground zero of the storm to assist with clearing tasks and distribution of basic products.
Cases like those described fuel the little hope of relatives of finding their missing alive. It is also expected that the devastating figure of 2,500 calls reporting missing people since Tuesday may decline, if only slightly, as the work of rescue teams progresses.
