Tragic Flash Flooding in Spain

Flash flooding in southeastern Spain has resulted in the deaths of over 60 people due to torrential rains that brought an entire year's worth of precipitation in just eight hours. The town of Chiva faced severe devastation, with eyewitnesses describing dramatic scenes as waters swept away cars and even houses. The Spanish military has been deployed to assist in rescue efforts, and essential services such as electricity and rail links have been severely disrupted. As further rain is forecast, the situation remains precarious, with concerns that the death toll could rise as rescue operations continue in the rubble of affected areas.
