In Ibiza, communities have rallied to send aid to Valencia following the devastation caused by a severe DANA storm. On the public holiday, families, including many children, gathered to donate food, clothes, hygiene products, and baby supplies at the Vara de Rey collection point, coordinated by Punkytrans. Volunteer driver Rubén has made several trips to gather supplies, assisted by locals and groups like Casa de Cantabria. Parents used the opportunity to involve children, hoping to instil empathy by helping those in need. As the donation mountain grows, organisers have prepared larger trucks to transport the estimated 25 tonnes of aid, comprising essentials from food to first-aid kits and winter clothes. Locals feel a strong sense of solidarity, with many mentioning personal ties to Valencia, while others simply want to help those affected by what many believe is an underreported disaster.
