MADRID, Nov 4 – Two Chinese nationals died, another two missing in the most severe floods in southeastern Spain in a decade, the Chinese Embassy in Spain said on Saturday.
The Chinese community in Spain has donated money to help people in need, and Chinese rescue teams are actively engaging in cleanup efforts and providing urgently needed supplies to help restore order in affected areas, reported the Global Times.
In the aftermath of the flooding, the Chinese community in Spain has actively donated money and supplies to help local residents through this difficult time. The Valencia region has been hit the hardest, with significant losses suffered by the local Chinese community, said the embassy.
A representative from Gongyang Rescue Team told the Global Times on Sunday that on Saturday morning local time, the team set off from Barcelona to the disaster-hit area in Valencia.
They brought essential supplies such as drinking water, bread and biscuits, as well as brooms, mops, garbage bins, rain boots and gloves.
The flood had caused water and power outages in the disaster-stricken area, leading to a shortage of supplies.
The residents were in desperate need of clean drinking water and food, the Global Times learned from Gongyang.
Additionally, the Valencia local federation of Chinese Associations has established donation sites for supplies and set up fundraising accounts to assist local residents in overcoming this crisis, said the embassy.
