The recent flooding in Valencia marks the deadliest disaster in Spain in three decades, with at least 155 fatalities reported as a result of unprecedented rainfall.
Meteorologists have reported that an extraordinary amount of rainfall, equivalent to an entire year's worth, fell in just eight hours, leading to widespread destruction.
Consequently, significant infrastructure damage occurred as bridges and buildings were swept away, while road accidents increased due to the severe weather conditions on the motorways.
The flooding not only caused extreme loss of life but also submerged agricultural land, significantly impacting the region that contributes to two-thirds of Spain’s citrus production.
