The Government of Venezuela expressed its solidarity with Spain on Wednesday regarding the deaths and damages caused by floods resulting from the phenomenon known as DANA (Isolated Depression at High Levels) in the south and east of the European country, where at least 95 deaths have been reported.
The Venezuelan Foreign Minister, Yván Gil, lamented the events in Spain through a statement on his Telegram channel. In the message, he stated: “We express our deep sorrow to the people and government of Spain for the tragic loss of human life and damage caused by devastating floods in the south and east of the country, especially in the Valencian Community.”
Gil also conveyed his condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims, along with a message of encouragement to those conducting search and rescue operations for individuals still missing and at risk during these critical hours. Additionally, he offered Venezuela’s support in this difficult situation.
Emergency services are working diligently to access areas that remain isolated due to the floods and torrential rains. These conditions have resulted in shocking images of piled and overturned cars, streets rendered impassable by water and mud, as well as blocked roads.
The weather forecast suggests that rain could extend into next week; however, it is expected to be more scattered, less persistent, and less intense. For today, precipitation is anticipated to concentrate in the Gulf of Cádiz and parts of Catalonia, while tomorrow and Friday it will shift westward toward Andalusia and Extremadura.
