Hundreds of Local Police, Civil Guard, Civil Protection and members of the public have been leaving the Vega Baja, since last Thursday, bound for the Valencia Province where they are all providing whatever help they can to the devastated population. In addition to those who have travelled, hundreds more are fundraising locally, as members of the public clamour to the many dozens of drop off points with their contributions of clothing, blankets and foodstuffs. The public response of solidarity has been overwhelming, but even so, there are still many thousands of people who are suffering, who have lost everything, and who will need our help and support for many months to come.
