MADRID (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – “There are 211 identified victims” caused by storm Dana that hit Valencia and the province on Tuesday. This was announced by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez taking stock of the tragedy during a press point at the Moncloa Palace, where he chairs the crisis committee for the devastation. “The scale of this natural disaster does not allow us to get everywhere: so many people are still missing, some municipalities are isolated,” he added. “The search work will continue for as long as necessary so that all citizens are located. Sanchez then announced “the largest deployment of armed forces in our country since the end of the war, which has led to 4,800 rescues and helped more than 30,000 people in their homes, in their areas. In the province of Valencia,” he stressed, “4 thousand additional units will arrive, and by tomorrow morning another 1,000 military personnel: 5 thousand more in the next few hours. Surgical rooms will arrive. In addition, I have ordered the deployment of 5 thousand additional police and civil guard officers, 10 thousand units in all.”
“And I want to reiterate to the citizens of the Valencian Community that the central government is ready to help again, you just have to ask. There is no hierarchy of priorities, no shortage of means must come. If the Valencian Community needs more means and resources we will make them available,” Sanchez concluded.
