"We are collecting food, water, everything we can find because it is going to rot anyway and the elderly can’t get here. And there are people who are hungry, we don’t have water, we don’t have electricity."

"We are not thieves, I work as a cleaner at the school for the council. But we have to eat, look what I picked up, baby food for the baby. It’s wet, so I don’t know if I can use it. What can I give to the child, if we don’t have electricity?"

"All the shops, everything is in a massive disaster. We are not even going to be able to start repairing. I can’t even contact my work, no one in this area can contact each other because we have no internet. Every place that we think has got solar panels, because of where the adapters and everything are, are completely destroyed. The solar doesn’t even work. We can’t even charge anything. And loads of people have gone into Valencia to try and seek more shelter, but there are about more 150,000 people in this place."
6. Various of cars piled up and abandoned on highway
STORYLINE:
Survivors of the worst natural disaster to hit Spain this century were stunned by scenes of devastation on Thursday, after villages were wiped out by monstrous flash floods that killed at least 95 people.
"We are collecting food, water, everything we can find because it is going to rot anyway and the elderly can’t get here. And there are people who are hungry, we don’t have water, we don’t have electricity," Alejandra Mina, a survivor from Valencia, said.
Cars piled on one another like broken toys, while uprooted trees, downed power lines and household items all mired in a layer of mud, covered the streets.
Walls of rushing water turned narrow streets into death traps and spawned rivers that ripped into the ground floors of homes and swept away cars, people and anything else in its path.
The floods knocked down bridges and left roads unrecognisable.
The death toll is expected to rise as search efforts continue with officials removing bodies from buildings and vehicles and an unknown number of people still missing.
