Spanish rescuers search garages for bodies after devastating floods

Spanish rescuers are searching inundated garages in Valencia for bodies after devastating floods.

The death toll stands at 217, almost all in the eastern Valencia region, in Spain’s worst such disaster in decades.

National weather service AEMET announced the end of the emergency for Valencia but placed part of the northeastern Catalonia region on the highest red alert for torrential rain on Monday.

Catalan trains were suspended until further notice, Transport Minister Oscar Puente announced on X, while flights were delayed and diverted at Barcelona’s El Prat airport.

Thousands of soldiers, police officers, civil guards and firefighters spent a sixth day distributing aid and clearing mud and debris to find bodies.
