Tragedy struck southeastern Spain as flash floods claimed the lives of at least 51 individuals, according to the regional government of Valencia. The devastating floods were a result of intense rainfall that hit various parts of southern and eastern Spain, with some areas receiving up to 12 inches of rain in just a few hours on Tuesday.
The city of Valencia bore the brunt of the flooding, with muddy waters surging through the streets, causing destruction by tearing down walls and sweeping away parked cars. Rescue teams faced challenges reaching areas cut off by the floods, but as they began to access these locations, they discovered several bodies.
