Thousands of people carrying buckets, shovels, mops, brooms, water jugs and food are setting out on foot from Valencia to help villages affected by the floods.

  1. Thank these people! And thank you for posting it. There’s plenty examples of F’ed up human behavior to pass around. This i needed to see.

  2. I think its really great to see that the whole! Society stands together in a moment like this. Lets hope this will keep activism around those hazards going 🙂

  3. >**Valencia Governor to Volunteers: “Get Off the Streets, Go Home”**

    >The President of the Valencian Region Carlos Mazón has asked volunteers to “go back to their homes” because by occupying the streets they are hindering the arrival of rescue workers.

    >Mazón, at the end of the meeting of the Emergency Control Center (Cecopi) and in the presence of the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, asked citizens who go to the affected areas to “go back to their homes” because “the roads that rescue teams need are at risk of being blocked”.

    >He explained that volunteer reception centers will be set up to organize those who are already on the streets, but he asks that no more people arrive. The Valencian President explained that the “fundamental objectives” at this time are to open access channels for the movement of vehicles and the rescue of victims and also to use these channels to supply water, food and basic necessities.

  4. why cant we post more videos like this. LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing humans help humans, it brings me to tears!

    MORE KIND VIDEOS!

    MORE KIND VIDEOS!

    stop giving trashy behaviour 15 minutes of fame, give it to people like this!

  5. Now this is wonderful. Thank you for sharing this, and good luck to all these courageous people!

  6. Wow that’s an impressive number of people

    That’ll sure make a difference! Wonderful to see 😀

  7. Apparently there are still good people, civil society, on this planet capable of organizing their efforts. Can’t believe this is happening in 2024

  8. When similar thing happened here turned out to be a massive chaos, it wasn’t organized so many people need food and toilets it was a mess on top of the disaster mess, hope these people are better organized.

  9. We will need each other to survive the effects of climate change. Heartwarming, you see it in every country.

  10. BTW these are _regular people_. Not government employees, not emergency services, nor employees of any state agency.

    All scenes seen from Valencia is of regular Spanish civilians self-organizing to help Valencians while National and Autonomic governments fight a political blame game and political parties and activists try to stop certain groups from helping “because it looks bad”/”they’re doing it wrong”

    What’s worse is that all those people are terribly unprepared. You can see that they don’t have masks, they don’t have gloves, they don’t have any equipment. That water is rain + river water + *sewage* + *cadavers*. It’s a melting pot of bacteria and virus. By arriving all at once unprepared and then (likely) going back home the same day they’re risking spreading disease not only in the affected areas *but in their home towns too*.

    That’s why the lack of *official*, *trained* personnel in the area is so outrageous.

  11. Just came back from one of the affected towns as part of a volunteer squad. The situation is so much worse than they’re letting on… So fucked up. The government is not doing a single thing, just trying to avoid responsibilities and blame the other party. The army isn’t on the streets yet!! Just the firemen pulling out bodies and squads of volunteers… It’s an absolute catastrophe and way worse than what’s being shown in the news. I feel so helpless…

  12. That’s what humanity does best ! Helping each other

    People who can’t understand that’s it’s the WE that is bigger than the ME should go live in a cave

  13. Amazing humans.
    Meanwhile, where I live, people can’t even stop to let others pass on a cross walk.

  14. This is why there’s still hope for mankind. True will to help and none of that bullshit of “helping” while being recorded for any stupid social network.
    Thank you for your help, the people of Valencia need it.

  15. This is the kind if news to spread to mainstream media across the globe. Not only the war or killings. Kindness is contagious!

  16. A drop of absolutely necessary wholesome behaviour in the world of constant war, crime and poverty.

    These people are saviours, especially with the food.

  17. Amb tot el cor i suport, des de Barcelona, amb el poble valencià. Amunt, sou els més grans i els més solidaris.
