‘We won’t abandon you’published at 10:54 Greenwich Mean Time
Continuing, Spain’s prime minister tells flood victims “we won’t abandon you”.
He says lots of people are facing uncertainty, but Spain will help them – and will have all the resources for people to recover their lives and homes.
Emergency services are working tirelessly, he says, including local police, NGOs and the Guardia Civil – the national police force with military status.
Sanchez says that a governmental crisis committee, which was set up yesterday, will continue to work with mayors of the affected areas.
