Valencia (Spain) (AFP) – The floods in the Valencia region on 29 October 2024 claimed the lives of more than 230 people and caused colossal material damage. In addition to businesses, belongings and lives being lost, the water and mud also deprived many families of their memories. Thanks to a university-led initiative, hundreds of family photographs hung to dry at a laboratory, fragile reminders of birthday celebrations and summer vacations, have been rescued from ruin.
