The death toll from catastrophic flooding in Spain’s Valencia region has climbed to 202, with additional fatalities in Castilla La Mancha and Andalusia, bringing the national toll to 205. Torrential rain has triggered flash floods across multiple regions, prompting Spain’s Meteorological Agency to issue red warnings in Huelva, advising residents to stay indoors. In Valencia, the Spanish Ministry of Defence has dispatched 500 military personnel to aid in recovery efforts, while power outages affected around 40,000 people. Local officials fear more casualties may surface, as heavy rainfall has led to severe damage, submerging homes and infrastructure.
