Catastrophic flooding in Spain leaves widespread destruction
Tragically, the floods have been deadly elsewhere, with reports suggesting that more than 400 people may have lost their lives in the disaster as official figures indicate that 2,000 people remain missing.
Spanish emergency authorities raised the death toll to at least 205 victims, 202 of them in Valencia alone.
Spanish rescue teams are searching for dozens of missing people in the flood-hit city of Paiporta, as the death toll from this week’s storms soared above 200.
