Spain faces its worst natural disaster in decades, with over 200 deaths reported from catastrophic floods. The crisis has left many communities without power, water, and aid. Rescue teams are working tirelessly to reach areas still cut off by heavy rains, as the death toll continues to rise.
Residents of affected towns, such as Chiva, have taken matters into their own hands, conducting mass cleanups and providing support to those in need. While the regional government has deployed soldiers to assist with relief efforts, some communities feel abandoned and are calling for more help.
The floods have caused widespread destruction, destroying roads, railway tracks, and bridges, and submerging thousands of hectares of farmland. The region is bracing for further storms, with alerts issued for strong rains in Tarragona, Catalonia, and the Balearic Islands.
