Fukushima town sets new yakitori record

    At Least 89 People Remain Missing After Floods - Eastern Spain

    Volunteers and neighbors remove mud with shovels, in the neighborhood of El Raval, on November 6, 2024, in Algemesí, Valencia, Valencian Community, Spain. One of the most affected areas of Algemesí by the DANA is the Raval neighborhood, where the mud accumulates in mountains of several meters high and even the walls of some houses have given way to the voracity of the water. The lack of machinery slows down the work in Algemesí and the City Council is already helping those affected to process insurance claims. Both the Military Emergency Unit, UME, and the fire department are working in the town, but the layer of mud is still several centimeters in some areas and the belongings are piled up next to the houses generating bad smell and humidity.
