Flash floods in eastern Spain have claimed over 200 lives, making it the country's deadliest disaster in recent memory. Thousands of soldiers and police officers are deployed to assist with rescue efforts, amid concerns about disease spread and potential further discoveries of bodies. The government has faced criticism for its response, but Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has promised to "improve" recovery efforts. Scientists attribute the extreme weather event to human-caused climate change, citing warmer air and changes in the jet stream.
