The DANA which six days ago swept through Valencia has caused the death of hundreds of people, as well as the disappearance of numerous citizens. On Monday, from Paiporta, ground zero of the tragedy, Ana Rosa Quintana has connected live with The critical view.
During her connection, the presenter was able to talk to a woman affected by the DANA, who wanted to thank the thousands of volunteers from all parts of Spain for their work: “We are very grateful for their help.The volunteers are bringing everything. I have a 40-day-old baby girl, she has milk, she has diapers…. What we need is for them to come and clean because this area is fine, but we need them to come and clean it. the inside is a mess and no one is helping us.“.
Similarly, the woman has criticized the inaction of the authorities:”So many police to escort those of yesterday, let them come with a shovel.. We are not against the kings and it is appreciated that they come, but let them come with a shovel to clean up with us because this is a mess.”
“Politics must be left aside. This is a national catastrophe and we are all losing everything. I have lost my house, my caesarean section has opened up, a 40-day-old baby girl… nobody comes here to help, all they want is to have their picture taken“, the woman added.
Likewise, the neighbor has pointed out: “Thank you for telling the truth because they are not doing it and they are not giving the real number of dead. I am scared and I don’t know what to do. I don’t know whether to take my daughter, but I have to leave my mother here, my husband and my flooded house…. What do I do, save my daughter?“.
For her part, Ana Rosa Quintana has advised the woman: “Listen to me, take your daughter out of here because she is 40 days old and here there could be infections or bacteria”. Finally, the affected woman sentenced: “If people came to help us I would not have to separate my family.“.
