Anger and frustration erupted in Spain on Sunday as King Felipe VI surveyed the damage from historic flash floods that killed more than 200 people.
“Murderers, murderers!” and “Get out!” some yelled as protests erupted during King Felipe VI’s visit to the town of Paiporta in the hard-hit Valencia region
Luis Javier Gonzalez, 22, who says he has family in the area, was in Miami when the floods hit. He told The Associated Press he flew in to help out. “There’s way more people helping than the actual government, you know, which is crazy. So sad. Unreal.” Cristina Hernandez, who lives in Paiporta, which saw heavy damage from the floods, told NBC’s British partner Sky News, “We feel that we are abandoned by the government and we are helping each other, but there are a lot of thieves in the night so we are scared also.”
