The people of Andalucia have rallied around the thousands of flood victims by donating an overwhelming amount of clothes and food, it has emerged.
Locals were seen bursting into tears while being interviewed by Canal Sur about the generosity shown by people from across the region.
One emotional woman in Zahara, Cadiz, is seen telling reporters: ‘Anyone who needs to come and wash clothes, or who needs anything, don’t hesitate to come and ask me.
‘Whatever you need, even a plate of food, whatever you are in need of.’
The news segment was shared by regional president Juanma Moreno, who said he was ‘very proud’ of his people.
‘This is Andalucia,’ he wrote, ‘thank you from my heart for the wave of solidarity. Once again, the Andalucia people have given a lesson in exemplary behaviour during a very difficult moment.
‘Very proud of the Andalucians.’
It comes after more than 11,000 people had to be evacuated from their homes in recent days due to flood and landslide risks.
The operations took place across Cadiz, Malaga, Cordoba and Jaen, where hundreds of homes have been severely flooded.
It means many have been left without clothes or food, leading locals from less affected areas to gather donations for them.
