At least 95 dead so far, rescuers desperately searching for survivors in part of Spain around Valencia, but in the city as well. Among the victims are children, yesterday authorities confirmed that the bodies of two babies were found.
Valencia has been devastated by a severe storm that has been hitting Spain for days. The floods have claimed at least 95 lives, 92 of them in Valencia alone, and authorities fear that the death toll could be much higher as many people are missing.
Among the victims are children, and yesterday authorities confirmed that the bodies of two babies were found. The severity of the situation is evident from the fact that the authorities have decided to turn the court building in the city of Valencia into a temporary morgue due to the expected increase in victims of this storm.
Thousands of soldiers, as well as police officers, members of the Emergency Situations Sector, and volunteers are working around the clock. They are constantly searching for survivors and helping the victims.

Unfortunately, the forecasts are not in their favor. Extremely heavy rainfall is also forecast for today, and the situation will be extremely difficult in the north of Castellón and south of Tarragona, as well as in the southwest where a yellow weather alert is in effect in the provinces of Cádiz, Huelva, and Seville in Andalusia and throughout Extremadura.
Thousands of users are still without electricity, and the material damage is incalculable. In the province of Valencia, there are still many blocked roads where thousands of vehicles are stranded. The scenes from the scene are heartbreaking. Almost no house has not suffered terrible damage in the devastating floods.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is expected to visit Valencia today. He expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and announced government support for the recovery from the effects of the floods.
Sánchez said that Spain will provide all possible assistance, and that if necessary, the EU will also provide assistance. A three-day mourning period has been declared due to the tragedy.
