In Valencia, searches continue in the mud three days after the devastating flood caused by Dana, with the death toll already exceeding 200. The situation remains critical, with around 366,000 people without access to drinking water and 50,000 without electricity. Controversy persists over the delays in activating the alert. Firefighters found bodies inside around thirty vehicles in a tunnel, while the final MotoGP race, scheduled for November 15-17 in Valencia, has been cancelled due to the tragedy.

The State Meteorological Agency has issued a red alert for heavy rain in several areas of Andalusia until 3 p.m., urging the population not to travel and to exercise extreme caution. The emergency service has urged the citizens of Huelva to protect themselves and avoid unnecessary travel.

Due to water mains damaged by floods, it is impossible to clean the dried mud in several municipalities. More than 500 soldiers will join the more than 1,200 already operating in the region, where the Interior Minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, is also expected. The priority is to provide essential goods such as water, food and medicine to the affected communities.

Defense Minister Margarita Robles said many people could still be alive on the lower floors of homes or in flooded garages. She mentioned piled-up vehicles and possible missing people, but did not provide specific numbers. Robles expressed solidarity with the families of the victims and thanked the military involved in the emergency, promising that additional resources would be sent if necessary.

Currently, there are no Italians among the identified victims; this is confirmed by sources from the Italian embassy in Spain, which has activated a task force to manage any emergencies and reports of missing persons. In Picanya, one of the municipalities most affected by the flood, groups of migrants have started cooking for the local population using food recovered from a flooded hotel.

The infrastructure situation is critical: over 80 km of roads have been damaged and it is estimated that it will take between 10 and 12 days to reopen the A7 motorway. The Minister of Transport said that work to restore the road network has already begun and that rail links between Madrid and Valencia could be operational again within two to three weeks. However, the full restoration of regional lines will take longer due to the serious damage suffered.
