The rooms accommodated up to 12 children each with worn-out furniture and mold on the walls. There were not enough shower facilities, and water was only available at certain times. The shelter was damp, moldy, and lacked proper equipment. Children reported staying in the building during air raid alerts due to insufficient safety measures.

    Spain to Witness Rare Total Solar Eclipse on August 12

    Spain will experience a total solar eclipse on August 12, a phenomenon that hasn't occurred in the Iberian Peninsula since 1912. This event will repeat next summer and won't happen again until 2053. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes in front of the Sun, blocking its light. They can be total, annular, or partial, depending on the observer's location. These events follow regular patterns, with 4 to 7 solar and lunar eclipses occurring each year. However, the visibility of a total solar eclipse from a specific location is less frequent, happening approximately every 400 years.
