News summary

Spain is facing its deadliest flash floods in modern history, with at least 211 confirmed dead and many still unaccounted for following torrential rains in Valencia. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced the deployment of an additional 5,000 military personnel for rescue and cleanup efforts, marking this as the largest peacetime military operation in Spain's history. Despite some successful rescues, public frustration is rising due to perceived delays in emergency response and aid distribution. Volunteers have been actively assisting in cleanup efforts, but access issues have complicated professional emergency operations. Meanwhile, the storm has prompted new weather alerts across several regions, with ongoing rain expected to exacerbate the situation. This disaster is noted as Europe's worst flood-related incident since 1967, highlighting the increasing frequency of extreme weather events linked to climate change.
