Convoy of Hope is on the ground in Spain after massive flooding last week killed at least 217 people. Recurrent storms have dumped rain farther north on Barcelona today and inundated some highways. 

Streets are still piled with battered cars and debris, and much of Valencia is submerged. As of today, 3,000 residents are without power. Spain’s Department of National Security reports that approximately 4,500 buildings have sustained damage. Additional rainfall is anticipated today and tomorrow, which will exacerbate the already tragic situation. 

Convoy is distributing relief supplies such as generators, water pumps, sleeping bags, and blankets to people in need.

Horrific flooding along Spain’s Mediterranean coast has killed more than 155 people. The Associated Press described the scene of cars “piled on one another like fallen dominoes, uprooted trees, downed power lines and household items all mired in mud.” This week’s flash floods are also Spain’s “deadliest natural tragedy in living memory.”

“There are dozens of missing people,” Spanish Minister for Territorial Policy Angel Víctor Torres told CNN. “We cannot confirm that number. But it is clear that as more days pass and they do not appear, the more likely it is that we will have no hope of finding them alive.”

Convoy of Hope is responding, and team members are already en route to the region. Convoy team and partners will distribute food, water, and relief supplies to survivors as they dig out their neighborhoods and rebuild their lives.

Give now to help those whose lives have been upended by these deadly floods.
