Rescue services have had to use helicopters to lift people from houses and cars amid the rapidly rising waters.
Several bodies have been found in Spain's Valencia region after flash floods struck eastern and southern parts of the country. Torrential rains caused by a cold front flooded roads and towns on Tuesday, resulting in cars being swept through streets, a train being derailed and damaged houses and buildings. The exact number of people killed has not been disclosed by authorities in Valencia.
Radio and TV stations received hundreds of calls for help from people trapped in flooded areas or searching for loved ones, as emergency services were unable to reach all affected locations. Transport was severely affected by the flooding. A high-speed train with almost 300 people on board was derailed near Malaga, but authorities said no one was hurt. Rail lines elsewhere were also disrupted.
