The death toll from devastating flash floods in Spain has risen to 223, with 78 individuals still missing, as reported by the Transport Minister Oscar Puente. The majority of fatalities occurred in Valencia, where 215 deaths have been recorded, while additional losses were reported in Castilla-La Mancha and Andalusia. Rescue efforts continue, supported by the army, with ongoing searches for the missing and identification of the deceased, as 48 bodies remain unaccounted for. The floods have caused extensive damage, with estimated compensation claims reaching approximately $3.8 billion, and significant infrastructure repairs are underway. Furthermore, the situation has been exacerbated by misinformation circulating on social media regarding the floods' causes and impacts. Authorities are also concerned about potential health risks due to stagnant water and debris in the worst-hit areas.
