In the wake of severe floods in Valencia, Spain, the death toll has reached at least 217, with many individuals still unaccounted for. Search efforts are now concentrated on underground garages and a car park in Aldaia, where divers and rescue teams are working to locate bodies among the debris of submerged vehicles. The flooding, caused by a year's worth of rain falling in a short period, has overwhelmed rescue operations, necessitating the deployment of an additional 5,000 soldiers to assist in what Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez termed the largest peacetime military operation in Spain's history. Rescue teams are methodically removing water from affected areas, including the Mercadona supermarket's underground parking lot in Paiporta, where water levels rose to nearly two meters. The AEMET has issued a red alert for further rain in parts of Catalonia, exacerbating concerns as Barcelona also experienced flooding. As the search continues, the focus remains on finding survivors and determining the full extent of the tragedy.
