The European Commission has proposed to the European Parliament and the Council an aid of \u20ac945 million from the EU Solidarity Fund (EUSF) to Spain to support the recovery from the destructive \u2018DANA floods' of October 2024 in Valencia. In addition, the Commission has approved the reallocation of \u20ac645 million from Spain's cohesion policy funds via the RESTORE mechanism, to complement the EUSF aid and boost European support for recovery efforts.<\/p>\n
The proposed EUSF support for Spain represents the second-largest allocation ever since the Fund's inception in 2002 \u2013 after the \u20ac1.2 billion granted to Italy following the 2015\u20132016 earthquakes. An advance payment of \u20ac100 million was already paid by the Commission to Spain in April 2025 to help kick-start the recovery operations. The \u2018DANA' \u2013 which stands for \u2018high-altitude isolated depression' by its acronym in Spanish \u2013 of October 2024 struck the Valencian region with relentless heavy rains, leading to severe flooding that tragically killed more than 230 people and caused extensive damage to homes, schools, hospitals, transport networks, and businesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
