Spanish rescuers on Wednesday scrambled to save people trapped by surging tides of muddy water in floods that have killed at least 64 people in the country's east.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez urged citizens to remain vigilant as the danger persisted and three days of mourning were declared after the disaster on a scale rarely seen in the European nation.
Heavy rain and fierce winds have lashed Spain since the beginning of the week after a storm formed over the Mediterranean Sea, triggering floods in the eastern Valencia and southern Andalusia regions.
At least 155 people were killed in Spain’s eastern province of Valencia as gale-force winds and torrential rains ripped through the area, leaving behind massive flooding, the regional emergency management service said on X.
