Two years of the dana: the fruitless search for missing persons that families ask to keep going
Two years after the tragic flood in Valencia, families continue to seek closure for their lost loved ones. Ernesto, uncle of Elisabeth Gil, believes the authorities' response during the recent storm shows that the deaths were preventable. Elisabeth and her mother, Elvira, were swept away by the flood, and their bodies have not been recovered. Ernesto emphasizes the ongoing pain for the family, especially for Elisabeth's children, who lost their mother and grandmother. Despite the passage of time, the family remains hopeful, recalling a promise made by a military general to continue the search. They criticize the lack of changes in emergency protocols, asserting that the deaths could have been avoided with proper action from authorities. The judicial process is still ongoing, with many families seeking justice and accountability for the tragedy.
