    Paiporta - Valencia a Month After The DANA - Spain

    Military vehicles next to the train tracks on November 28, 2024, in Paiporta, Valencia (Comunidad Valenciana). Last October 29, the DANA devastated several areas of Spain, being the province of Valencia the most affected, where the storm left more than 220 dead in its path. Within Valencia, Paiporta was one of the most affected municipalities. The repair and reconstruction of the infrastructures damaged by the floods and their management has been estimated at more than 2,600 million euros by the Regional Ministry of the Environment, Infrastructures and Territory, in addition to the amount of the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, which has so far allocated 123 million euros to restore mobility in Valencia and 185 million euros to repair the suburban and high-speed rail network.

                      Deadly Floods Strike Troubled Bangladesh

                      People are crossing the road in torrential rain in Dhaka,Bangladesh on 25 August 2024.As a result of continuous heavy rains, there are floods in many areas including Feni, Comilla Khagrachari in Bangladesh and have killed at least 42 people in Bangladesh and India since the start of the week, many in landslides. Floods in Bangladesh have killed at least 13 people and affected millions of others in the country’s northeast, adding to the challenges of an interim government struggling to return order to a country plunged into anarchy after mass protests forced out its autocratic leader. The regions of Feni and Cumilla were worst hit, the country’s ministry of disaster management and relief said. Communication lines have been affected, with almost all cellphone towers losing electricity. Rail service has been suspended and roads have been damaged, hampering delivery of emergency aid. Bangladesh’s army and navy have been deployed for rescue operations. Photo by Anik Rahman/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
