No Comment: Aid on the ground slow to arrive in flood-hit areas

The Paiporta industrial estate, one of the worst hit, is covered by a substantial amount of water and mud.

90 kilometres of regional railway lines have been destroyed by the floods. It will take months for things to return to normal.

Local volunteers try to help, equipped with only shovels and brooms. They are calling for more military support.

The feeling of frustration is palpable, as residents recount the lack of an early warning followed by an inadequate government response.

The damage caused by the floods varies considerably within small distances, as neighbouring areas are vastly worse affected than others.
