The deadliest flash floods in Spain's modern history have killed at least 214 people and dozens were still unaccounted for, four days after torrential rains swept the eastern region of Valencia, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Saturday.

King Charles wrote to Spain's King Felipe offering his condolences for the "tragic loss of so many lives" following what has been described as Spain's worst flood-related disaster in over half a century.

The tragedy is already Europe's worst flood-related disaster since 1967 when at least 500 people died in Portugal.

The death toll from catastrophic flooding in Valencia, Spain, has reached 211, the country's prime minister announced Saturday as the search for survivors -- and bodies -- continued in devastated cities and towns left caked in mud and strewn with debris.

Valencia, Spain - 03, 2024 Rescue and relief work is still ongoing in Spain after ferocious flash floods swept through the regions of Valencia, Castilla-La Mancha, and Andalusia last week, claiming over 200 lives and leaving many still unaccounted for.
