PM's promise to victims of flash-flooding tragedy in Spain: 'We will not leave you on your own'

Pedro Sánchez warned that the 'Dana' (isolated high-level depression) will "continue to wreak havoc" and called for extreme caution in those provinces that are still under an amber alert today, such as in the regions of Andalucía, Valencia, Aragon, Castilla y and León, Catalonia, Extremadura, Navarra and La Rioja

Sánchez said there will be guaranteed aid from the government and from the EU to deal with the tragedy and rebuild homes devastated by flood waters. "The public administrations are working together to do everything possible and we are going to provide all the necessary means today, tomorrow and for as long as it takes for us to recover from this tragedy. We are not going to leave you alone," Sánchez said.

He warned the 'Dana' (isolated high-level depression) will "continue to wreak havoc" and called for extreme caution in those provinces that are still under an amber alert, such as Andalucía, Valencia, Aragon, Castilla y and León, Catalonia, Extremadura, Navarre, La Rioja and Ceuta. Sánchez recommended not going out on the road, avoiding driving near ravines and riverbeds, and following directions of local authorities. "Nobody should put their lives at risk," Sánchez added.
