At least 95 people have died in flash floods after torrential rain battered Spain’s eastern region of Valencia and surrounding areas, authorities have said.
Heavy storms on Tuesday triggered floods across parts of southern and eastern Spain. Footage shared on social media showed vehicles being swept away down streets by the mud-coloured water.
More than 1,000 soldiers from Spain’s emergency response units were deployed to affected areas and the central government set up a crisis committee to help coordinate rescue efforts
