Neizan and Nizan, two children from Valencia who have gone viral: “Never give up”

Pushing a cart full of provisions, with gloves and boots on to make his way through the mud and the countless destruction left by the DANA, I don’t know y Nizanof the Valencian children who walk the streets of Picanya in search of affected that they need food, agua or any type of aid, are today a viral example of solidarity, empathy, unity and resilience in the face of the most absolute catastrophe.

Captured on video by ‘El Chiringuito’ cameras, the image of both working to help, as well as their words of encouragement in the midst of a tragedy that has also shaken and overwhelmed them, have moved and conquered the users of the social networks, from where many are full of praise and words of gratitude towards them and towards those who follow their example.

Despite their young age, both – neighbors and “best friends” – have immediately taken action to collaborate in the middle of disaster.

“Water, food, macaroni! “We also have milk, masks!”, they go shouting through the streets of Picanyaone of the towns fatally flooded by DANA.

Distributing food among those who have lost everything, they themselves tell how their housing have also been seen destroyed: “His house is a mess. Mine is fine because I live in a third and he lives in a second,” explains one of them, lamenting what happened in the midst of a scenario that continues to be devastating.

“We come from a failure that an NGO is making by distributing food and we collect it and take it to men who do not have food and who cannot go out, or elderly women,” they explain, lamenting that everything “is a catastrophe.”

Showing the desolate panorama that surrounds them and the destruction caused by DANA, with the same determination with which they look for people to assist they denounce what happened: “They could have warned us. If they had warned us… They raised the alarm when there were people whose water reached here,” laments the smallest of them, putting his hand over his chest, and almost up to his neck.

“The hardest thing about what we are going through is that we cannot go out because it is everything full of mud; “We slip, we fall,” they say, extending a complaint that stirs and stirs inside, generating all kinds of emotions that continue to surface in the midst of the debate on the management before, during and after DANA.

Facing tragedy and discouragement, and even stopping to thank journalists for sharing and showing what they are suffering, they call above all not to give up.

“Thanks to you, because you can see… that all this is garbage and you can tell it to people. And on any given day the ravine can overflow there too and the same thing that we are going through now can happen,” they told the journalists of ‘El Chiringuito’, before sending a message to everyone:

“And remember never laugh themand help your parents, grandparents, friends. Remember,” they say, also leaving another funny imperative that has ended up conquering everyone: “And eat Yogurt.” “That, and eat yogurt.”
