Thirty percent of underage Valencians affected by the blur at the top are afraid of rain and storm, a year later
The rains left 229 dead — including 9 children. Save the Children says that in the "reconstruction" of the affected municipalities they have not placed the children in the center.
Save the Children and the University of Valencia have presented a report to analyse the effects on minors of the upper blurring that struck several municipalities in Valencia a year ago, as well as the concerns and incidents in the field of employment and housing, which, according to the organization, have not placed children in the centre during the "reconstruction" of the affected municipalities.
A total of 229 people , including nine children, died as a result of the blast at the top, which damaged 200,000 minors and 16,000 homes.
The study shows that approximately 24% of children in Valencia still have sleep problems and 30% fear rain and storm.
On the other hand, 12.4 per cent of adolescents have difficulty concentrating , 11 per cent spend more time on electronic devices than before and 7 per cent prefer to be alone.
School, children's shelter
Half of the households surveyed (52.4 per cent) admit that their children have given up their studies.
The inability to attend school has affected 71.6 per cent of students and 33.3 per cent of students.
45.4 per cent of children and adolescents in the municipalities most severely affected by the emergency have stopped practising sport, 28 per cent have stopped practising outdoor activities, 25 per cent have stopped practising cultural or leisure activities and 24.7 per cent have stopped attending non-school education.
The climate crisis is a reality.
In June, Save the Children warned that 93% of children in Valencia will experience at least one extreme climate phenomenon a year, the fourth most at risk among the communities of the Spanish State.
Moreover, families living in poverty are at even greater risk.
Fifteen per cent of the households surveyed lost their homes, and one in four believe that the housing they currently own is less secure than it was before.
A reconstruction designed for children
A year later, infrastructure and the economy are still struggling to recover in Valencia, but Save the Children has considered it important not to forget children as the group that needs the most attention.
Along this path, he said, the organization reached 11,250 people in a state of emergency in a direct manner and 20,000 people in a non-direct manner.
