Spain: Flood survivors demand justice and reparations, six months on

On October 29, 2024, flash floods in Spain’s eastern Valencia region claimed 228 lives. More than six months later, residents are still struggling to rebuild. Beyond the economic toll, many say they cannot move on until accountability is addressed. Victims argue that lives lost – in cars, basements, and on the streets – could have been saved if regional authorities had issued timely and adequate warnings. FRANCE 24’s Sarrah Morris reports.
