A British man who lives in Valencia has described the horror of hearing his neighbours’ final screams before they died in devastating floods.
Jerome Torres, 49, said he was trapped in his fourth floor flat in the town of Paiporta with his partner Pablo both fearing they would die as the water levels rose.He told The Sun: “The water was reaching horrendous levels and we were hearing neighbours that were trapped in their ground floor houses starting to shout but it was impossible to go outside because of the strength of the water.“We could hear people shouting that were being taken by this urban river in our streets.
More than 200 people have died after a year's worth of rain fell in a day in the eastern Spanish region.A crowd of angry survivors threw mud and shouted insults at Spain's King Felipe VI as he made his first visit to one of the hardest-hit towns on Sunday. Government officials accompanied the monarch, who tried to talk to some locals while others shouted at him in Paiporta, a town on the outskirts of Valencia that has been devastated.
