Overview

• The October 2024 floods in the Valencian Community caused 228 deaths, destroyed thousands of homes, and devastated nearly 100 towns and industrial areas.
• Nearly €6 billion has been spent on infrastructure repairs, but no measures for future climate resilience have been implemented.
• Aid for over 300,000 flood victims remains slow, with just 375 applications processed daily, leaving many still without assistance six months later.
• A judicial investigation led by Magistrate Nuria Ruiz Tobarra has charged two former officials over delayed and inadequate emergency responses, with more testimonies being gathered this week.
• Health services have largely been restored, with all 57 damaged health centers operational and only two pharmacies still closed, while mental health support has been expanded for affected residents.
