Valencia floods: Spanish rescuers search underground car parks

Must read

Spanish rescuers are focusing their search for missing people on underground garages and a multi-storey car park following last week’s devastating floods in Valencia.

The death toll after a year’s worth of rain fell in parts of the region last week now stands at 217.

A car park in the nearby town of Aldaia capable of holding thousands of vehicles, has become central to the search, but rescue teams have reportedly not yet found any bodies.

It comes as Spain’s State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) placed part of the north-eastern Catalonia region on red alert for torrential rain, with its capital Barcelona experiencing flooding on Monday morning.
