According to the minutes, 1900 people were initially declared missing – 600 have already been found – Valencia’s president says the number of missing people does not correspond to today’s data
The newspaper El Diario reveals minutes of the meeting of Cecopi, that is, the Unified Operations Coordination Center in Valencia, for the management of the crisis.
In these minutes there is talk of 1900 missing people after the deadly floods in Spain.
Due to the extent of the news, the president of the province of Valencia denies it, saying that it does not correspond to specific data and again leaves the number unspecified.
It also reports that 70 more bodies have been found that have not been included in the tally of 205.
Dozens are searching for information on the internet about missing persons
On radio and TV, on social networking sites and, as a last resort, in Valencia’s makeshift morgues: with no news from their own people, many are scrambling to find some information about their fate after the devastating floods that hit southeastern Spain.
On Cadena Ser, one of the country’s largest radio stations, and on public television TVE, the program includes announcements about locating missing persons.
But three days after the tragedy, the chances of them being found alive are vanishing.
In Valencia, authorities have cordoned off the two temporary morgues and are asking relatives of the missing not to go there because they “will not be able to receive the necessary attention and information” they seek from coroners.
Because of the lack of communication, online solidarity takes on a new meaning. Volunteers go to flooded communities and provide information to page administrators.
