The flash floods, caused by unprecedented rainfall, destroyed infrastructure in minutes, leaving communities like Chiva with no access to power or emergency aid, and leading to a rising death toll.
Officials confirmed that the death toll is expected to continue to rise due to the severity of the flooding, marking this event as Spain's worst flood-related disaster in modern history.
In a shocking statistic, Valencia has received more rainfall in a single day than it had in the previous 20 months, resulting in devastating impacts on the local population.
Chiva's mayor expressed the gravity of the situation by stating, 'Entire houses have disappeared,' highlighting the extent of destruction and the ongoing struggle for residents in the aftermath.
