Tragedy struck southeastern Spain as flash floods claimed the lives of at least 62 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 witnessed scenes of chaos as muddy waters surged through the streets, causing destruction by tearing down walls and sweeping away parked cars. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez pledged full government support to assist the flood victims and urged the public to remain vigilant during this crisis.
