08:35The emergency services are helping, but it's true that we want to go and help too.
08:40And we can help a lot there because many hands are needed.
08:43The emergency services are finding it very difficult to get in, though especially ambulances
08:48that are trapped by traffic jams.
08:52We went to see how we could help the fire services and they told us that what they needed
08:58to do was to open roads so that they could enter and distribute their aid.
09:04So because there were so many people on the main streets, it made their work very difficult.
09:10But they need help.
09:13In addition, thousands of people from different regions of Spain have joined the cleaning
09:17task.

09:54We live in an area that fortunately has not been affected.
09:57We have come to bring water, cans of tuna, what we could, and remove mud, water, to help
10:02our friends and people we have seen around.
10:05We have come to help as much as we can.
10:08We have cleaned the garage.
10:09We have taken trash out of the water, out of some houses where they couldn't take out
10:13the trash because the people are older, and that is why we, young people, have to come
10:18to help and help each other because right now there is no one to help us.
