Spain has experienced its deadliest floods in decades, with over 220 confirmed deaths due to severe torrential rains that struck on October 29, particularly impacting the Valencia region, where 211 fatalities occurred. The catastrophic flooding forced the rescue of over 36,000 individuals and caused significant material losses across 78 municipalities, leading to widespread criticism of local authorities for their slow response to the disaster. The October rainfall was recorded as the wettest on record, with some areas, like Turis, receiving nearly a year's worth of rain in just one day. Scientists attribute the increasing frequency and intensity of such extreme weather events to climate change, highlighting that the Mediterranean's rising temperatures exacerbate rainfall severity. As rescue and recovery efforts continue, 78 people remain missing, and more than 150,000 compensation claims have already been filed. Protests have erupted against the regional government officials over their handling of the crisis, further complicating the recovery process.
