Deadly flash flooding has hit eastern Spain, piling up cars in the streets and tearing down the walls of homes. Hundreds of soldiers have been deployed, as neighbouring countries line up to offer help - with the Spanish prime minister warning it may not be over yet.
Number of deaths rises to over 90Authorities report that 92 people have died in Valencia, two in Castilla La Mancha, which sits south of Madrid, and one in Malaga.A 71-year-old British man who was rescued from his home in Malaga amid the flash floods has died in hospital.
More than 1,000 soldiers from Spain's emergency response units have been deployed to the flood-damaged areas to help with the efforts.At least 72 people have died as a result of the floods but the death toll will likely rise with other regions yet to report victims and search efforts continuing in areas with difficult access.Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro has said his country is ready to help Spain following the flash floods.
Another violent flood, another day we can hardly believe how climate change is, well, changing our lives.The footage is jaw-dropping: torrents of water collapsing a bridge, vehicles swept away and dumped on top of each other by powerful floodwater as if they were just a handful of toy cars, people rescued from neck-high water.It brings to mind similar scenes from eastern and central Europe just last month, or flooding in Germany and Belgium in 2021 that killed more than 200 people.
