Emmanuel Macron expressed France’s “full solidarity” with Spain, affected by the dramatic floods of this Wednesday, October 30. These floods, which have left at least 64 dead, “affect us very deeply,” declared the French president on the sidelines of a state visit to Morocco.
“We have made help available in terms of civil security, relief and we will do everything that the rescuers consider useful on the spot,” he added in particular on BFMTV.
The provisional death toll amounts to 64
At least 64 people died in floods that devastated southeastern Spain on Tuesday afternoon, wreaking havoc on many towns isolated from the rest of the country, which emergency services were trying to access on Wednesday.
Among the most affected municipalities are L’Alcudia, in the Valencian Community, and Letur, in the neighboring province of Albacete (Castilla-La Mancha), where six people are missing after the flood invaded the streets and carried away the cars. .
“Currently, and provisionally, the number of fatalities amounts to 62 people,” the official body coordinating relief operations announced Wednesday at noon. But “the process of registration and identification of the victims continues,” he said. This assessment will undoubtedly evolve and the authorities have opened a telephone line reserved for people searching for their missing relatives.
