Deadly floods in Spain: the City of Rodez organizes a solidarity meal for disaster victims in the Valencia region

On the other side of the Pyrenees, they are called “the floods of the century”. Almost a week after the rising waters which devastated the south-east of Spain and left at least 217 dead – the toll is provisional and is expected to rise as research intensifies –, Mutual aid is organized almost everywhere in Europe.

And the City of Rodez announces that it will organize a solidarity meal next Saturday, November 16 on the second floor of the town hall.

A giant paella will be offered, with portions to take away. A free price will be set up and all funds will be donated to the city of Valencia, the epicenter and surrounding areas of the floods.

For Morocco in 2023

In September 2023, the municipality had already mobilized in the same style by organizing a solidarity meal for Morocco, hard hit by an earthquake.

More than 400 guests took part in the stud setting. “Seeing people mobilize and come in numbers, it warms our hearts,” thanked Mohamed Amachrouk, president of the religious association of Muslims of Rodez.
