Spain has been hit by its worst natural disaster this century, as flash floods in the Valencia region have claimed at least 95 lives, with the death toll expected to rise as many remain missing. Approximately a year's worth of rain fell in just eight hours, submerging towns and destroying infrastructure, including buildings and bridges. The Spanish army, police, and firefighters are continuing search and rescue operations, and the government has declared three days of national mourning. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has pledged to deploy all necessary resources for recovery and expressed condolences to the victims' families. The floods have been attributed to increasingly frequent extreme weather events linked to climate change, highlighting the need for better preparedness and response strategies. Tens of thousands of homes remain without electricity and drinking water as the search for survivors continues.
