#FloodDisaster

2024-11-06

I have been thinking about the #Valencia #FloodDisaster. Clearly, there are many aspects to it, and I do not know all the details - far from it.

In #DRR we tend to discriminate between hazard, exposure, and vulnerability. The amount of rainfall in the area seems unprecedented, in line with higher rainfall intensities in a warming world and record-high sea level temperatures in the Mediterranean.

Reported To Be Among Thousands Dead Or Feared Dead
According to #UNHCR spokesperson Matthew Saltmarsh (InfoMigrants), "The floods caused a mass displacement, adding to the number of people who were already displaced before Storm Daniel hit the country. However, estimates of flood-induced population displacement are not available yet."
Before the disaster, 46,000 Internally Displaced Persons (#IDPs) lived in the devastated eastern part of the country, where more than 1,000 Refugees are registered with the UNHCR.

However:
"UNHCR is aware that a larger number of forcibly displaced people that are not registered with UNHCR live in the areas hit by the storm and flooding", says UNHCR

30% of the estimated 705,746 Migrants hosted by Libya live in the eastern part.

Libya has been serving as border extension for #Europe's with its #Racist and #Imperial #Migration policies:
#ConcentrationsCamps, #Frontex, #ExtrajudicialKillings, illegal #OrganHarvesting, #HumanTrafficking, Rape, #Torture, Extortion, Exploitation, #Racism and other kinds of heinous #CrimesAgainstHumanity "
