The floods in Valencia are being described as one of Spain&#8217;s worst disasters in the past century, according to military personnel deployed in the region. So far, the death toll stands at 223, with 17 people still missing. The situation remains dire for thousands of families who have lost everything.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the crisis, people across Spain have come together to help. A massive wave of solidarity is sweeping into the flood-stricken towns. Every day, dozens of trucks and vans arrive from all parts of the country, delivering food, essential supplies, and cleaning products to support those affected.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>How do young people organise themselves to send aid?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nThe response has been so overwhelming that some city councils had to ask citizens to pause donations, as managing the sheer volume of aid has become unmanageable. Jordi Sarri\u00f3n, originally from Valencia but now living in Salamanca, has rallied friends and neighbours to give as much as possible. He has personally taken on the task of purchasing masks, gloves, sanitising gels, and cleaning supplies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I started organising myself and reaching out to others who were also coordinating aid,&#8221; he told Euronews. At just 27 years old, Jordi is part of a wave of young people showing solidarity. Many, like him, have effectively used social media to coordinate and transport donations to Valencia. &#8220;We organise through Instagram and other social networks, where we constantly update what items are needed,&#8221; Jordi explains.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s through these platforms that he and many others have managed to bring out the best in society. &#8220;I feel much more at ease now, seeing all the volunteers and the solidarity networks being formed,&#8221; he says with relief. These networks have spread &#8220;not only across Spain but also throughout parts of Europe,&#8221; Jordi adds. He believes this highlights &#8220;the most positive side of the continent and the European Union itself: the solidarity between different communities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2024\/11\/13\/spain-unites-in-solidarity-with-massive-aid-effort-after-devastating-floods\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2024\/11\/13\/spain-unites-in-solidarity-with-massive-aid-effort-after-devastating-floods\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/spain-unites-in-solidarity-with-massive-aid-effort-after-devastating-floods\/\">Spain unites in solidarity with massive aid effort after devastating floods<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,2716,1102],"class_list":["post-135368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-solidarity","tag-spain"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135368\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
