In Spain’s southeast, devastating flash floods have claimed at least 95 lives, with rescuers racing to locate those still missing.
King Felipe VI warned of “enormous destruction” to infrastructure, which has left some areas cut off and challenging to reach.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez pledged support to the affected communities, assuring, “we won’t abandon you,” and declared a three-day national mourning period.
Social media footage captures the chaos, with floodwaters sweeping cars down streets and forcing some residents to cling to trees to avoid being swept away.
The situation is dire, with rescuers working tirelessly by air and land to locate and assist people. Sniffer dogs are being used to search for deceased and potentially injured individuals.
