‘I feel anger’: Spain braces for more storms after deadly flash floods
Al Jazeera
After more than 200 people were killed just two weeks ago, many on high alert again are furious with the government’s handling of the crisis.
Valencia and Madrid, Spain – When flash floods swept through Valencia, priceless family mementoes were destroyed as waters engulfed Marilo Grandoli’s ground-floor flat.
But, despite this, Grandoli feels fortunate.
“We lost things like the card which showed when my great grandfather opened his food shop in 1915, my school homework and family photographs,” she told Al Jazeera.
“These were precious to us. But there are other families who have lost relatives. They have lost far more.”
The 52-year-old journalist, who lives in Catarroja, one of the worst affected areas of Valencia where 28 people died, says she is still in shock, more than two weeks after the floods.
