SEDAVI, Spain — Francisco Murgui went out to try to salvage his motorbike when the water started to rise.One week after catastrophic flooding devasted eastern Spain, María Murgui still holds out hope that her father is alive and among the unknown number of the missing.
“He held up until 1 in the morning,” she said. “By 2, I went outside with a neighbor and a rope to try to locate him. But we couldn’t find him. And since then, we haven’t heard anything about him.” María Murgui herself has posted a missing person’s message on social media with a photo of her father, a 57-year-old retiree.
The package includes direct payments of 20,000 euros to 60,000 euros to owners of damaged homes, and financial aid for businesses and municipal governments.Sánchez said he will ask the European Union to help pay for the relief, saying “it is time for the European Union to help.”The floods have left behind post-apocalyptic scenes.
The ground floors of thousands of homes have been ruined. It is feared that inside some of the vehicles that were washed away or trapped in underground garages there could be bodies waiting to be recovered.
