'The whole of Spain weeps with you' - at least 95 dead as flash floods sweep Valencia; search resumes for bodies and survivors

At least 95 people have been killed in the deadliest flooding to hit Spain for three decades after torrential rain battered the eastern region of Valencia.

Meteorologists said a year's rain had fallen in eight hours in parts of Valencia on Tuesday, causing pile-ups on motorways and submerging farmland.

The flooding swept away bridges and buildings, highlighting the devastating impact of extreme weather conditions on infrastructure and local communities.

This event underscores the vulnerability of regions like Valencia, which produce two-thirds of Spain's citrus fruits, to climate-induced disasters.
