Spain is mobilizing additional resources to aid in the aftermath of the devastating floods that struck the eastern region of Valencia earlier this week. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced that 5,000 more soldiers and 5,000 more police officers will be deployed to assist with the ongoing rescue and recovery efforts.
The floods, described as Spain's deadliest natural disaster in recent memory, have claimed the lives of over 200 individuals. The majority of the fatalities, 202 in total, were reported in Valencia, with two in Castilla La Mancha and one in Andalusia.
