According to him, they are looking for two Bulgarians - a truck driver and a woman named Elena Georgieva.

„The horror that started on October 29, I think will last at least a few weeks, even months. There are many villages that currently do not have electricity, water and internet. They still can't clear the streets of the cars”, said Alsharani.

In his words, Spain has not taken any measures. “Since October 23, the National Institute of Meteorology had warned about the storm, which is equivalent to a typhoon or hurricane,”, the doctor specified.

„I was on duty at the hospital that day. Alarms went off, we got calls from City Hall and I was in charge of one of the big casualty pavilions. It was a terrible thing, they were not prepared at all. I even spoke to the mayor of Valencia. There was nothing – no dry clothes, no mattresses, blankets or hot food. Finally, the worst thing is that the electricity stopped”, says Alsharani.
