The death toll from the floods in Spain this week has risen to 205, as residents in the Valencia region were warned to brace for more rain and an additional 1,000 soldiers were earmarked to help with the rescue operations.
Authorities in Valencia raised the death toll there to 202 on Friday afternoon, bringing the overall toll to at least 205 in have been was the deadliest floods in Spain’s modern history.
The regional government attempted to dissuade people from going to flood-hit regions. “We are deeply grateful for the help that is being provided to the affected populations,” it wrote on social media. “We ask that you please do not travel to these areas because the roads are collapsing and emergency services cannot access them.”
The regional right-wing government not only did not sound the alarm at time but also wrote on twitter (now deleted) that AEMET (the Spanish meteorological org) did not warn about the floods on time. People died because they went to work and to schools. Commerces were open. Fucking disgusting pigs.
The regional government can shut their trap in this matter, fuck them.
