A video circulating on social media is moving internet users by showing a young man rescuing a woman amid flooding in the Malaga region. The woman, apparently paralyzed with fear next to a fuel pump, was surprised by the rapid rise of waters. Without hesitation, the young man rushed to her aid, managing to remove her from the danger area. This act of courage earned him the title of “hero of the day” in Malaga, according to the description of those who shared the video.
Málaga has been one of the areas most affected by the heavy rains that hit several regions of Spain. With streets completely submerged in water and mud, emergency services were forced to evacuate around 3,000 people from their homes, especially near the Guadalhorce River. Local authorities continue to appeal to citizens to seek higher ground, as the alert in the region has been raised to red due to the risk of further flooding.
