- VIDEO: Trail of destruction after Spanish floods (BBC) Trail of destruction follows Spanish floods: At least 95 people were killed following flash floods in southern Spain
At least 72 158 people have been killed in Spain's rains and floods | BBC News
Spanish rescue teams are working to find those feared missing, but damage to infrastructure (permanent structure used in day-to-day living) has made some communities hard to access.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez promised residents in affected areas that they would not be abandoned and announced a three-day mourning period.
- UPDATE: At least 158 people are now known to have died after flash floods hit parts of Spain, particularly devastating communities in Valencia. Almost all the deaths, 155, have been recorded in the region, with two more in Castilla-La Mancha and another, a British man, in Andalusia. Emergency teams are continuing to search for those missing and hundreds of soldiers have been deployed to Valencia to assist with the operation. More
There has also been criticism of the civil protection agency -- which is deployed during natural disasters -- as it did not issue an alert until 20:15 local time on Tuesday, when the flooding had already caused a great deal of damage.
