00:00The tears continue to flow in Valencia.
00:06While some towns have been reached by the military and emergency services,
00:12others are still desperate for help.
00:15This school in La Torre has become a medical centre
00:18and a drop-off and distribution point for the basic needs.
00:22You can see people queuing here from the worst-hit areas
00:25to get food, water, milk and hygiene supplies.
00:32And the Mestalla Stadium, home to Valencia Football Club,
00:35has also opened its doors,
00:37with food and water arriving from all over the country,
00:40ready to be distributed.
00:42The response of the people has been absolutely amazing.
00:46This is just one of the points where people can bring
00:49all kinds of supplies, food, detergent, blankets, whatever.
00:55This is just one point in the city.
00:57There are points of reception of this stuff all over the city,
01:02all over the region,
01:04and they are flooding from everywhere in the country.
01:08While authorities continue the search for bodies in underground car parks,
01:12an army of volunteers has come to help in the worst-hit areas.
01:17If we don't come, no one will help.
01:20People need us here.
01:22Yesterday I saw Valencia's bridges full of volunteers.
01:25It gave me goosebumps.
01:28Here the people come to help
01:30because the government don't do the things well.
01:34The volunteers and the outpouring of help and generosity,
01:38a ray of light in a dark moment for Spain.
