Devastating Floods Sweep Valencia: A Tragic Tale of Nature's Fury
At least 51 people were killed in Valencia, Spain, after torrential rains caused flash floods. Rescuers worked through the night to reach affected areas, with some people still isolated. Extreme weather events are increasing due to climate change, worsening such disasters.

In the wake of severe flash floods, at least 51 casualties have been reported in the eastern Spanish region of Valencia, where torrential rains left roads and towns submerged, local authorities confirmed on Wednesday.
Regional leader Carlos Mazon highlighted ongoing rescue efforts, despite access challenges, and videos surfaced showing emergency services striving to assist those stuck in floodwaters in areas like Alzira and Utiel.
With the crisis prompting railway cancellations and suspension of services, experts link such extreme weather events to climate change, emphasizing an increasing frequency due to Mediterranean warming.
