Devastating Deluge: Spain's Deadliest Flooding in Decades

Spain is facing its deadliest flooding in three decades, with at least 95 fatalities in Valencia due to torrential rains. The storm caused severe infrastructure damage and disrupted key services. Scientists attribute the increased frequency of extreme weather events like this to climate change.

Spain is reeling from its deadliest flooding in decades as at least 95 people have perished in the eastern region of Valencia due to torrential rains, local authorities reported on Wednesday.

Meteorologists revealed that parts of Valencia experienced a year's worth of rain in just eight hours, severely impacting infrastructure and the agriculture sector in the region, which is a major citrus producer.

Rescue operations are ongoing, and the effects of this catastrophic event are exacerbated by climate change, leading to a rise in the frequency and severity of such natural disasters.
