Andalusia Seeks Emergency Aid After Back-to-Back Storms
Regional President Juanma Moreno described the economic impact as “hard,” highlighting agriculture, tourism, and transport among the sectors hit hardest. He noted that repair work on damaged roads alone is expected to exceed €500 million (about $540 million). “We are facing a situation that worries us very much,” Moreno said.
Spain’s state meteorological agency AEMET has issued orange-level alerts for parts of Andalusia, warning of continued heavy rain and strong winds in areas already affected by successive storms. Emergency services have logged nearly 10,000 storm-related incidents since the severe weather began, with many roads still closed and rail services disrupted. Numerous evacuees remain unable to return home due to flood risks and unstable terrain.
Moreno said the immediate priority is “to avoid losing human lives” and to support displaced families. “All budgetary resources within reach will be mobilized,” he said, confirming that requests have been made to Spain’s State Contingency Fund and the EU Solidarity Fund to aid recovery efforts.
