Photos: Devastating floods in Spain kill dozens

Torrential rains cause widespread damage across the country

At least 30 people have died and dozens more are missing after torrential rains caused widespread flooding in southeastern Spain. The flooding began on Saturday and has caused widespread damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure.

The worst-hit areas are the regions of Murcia and Valencia, where entire towns have been cut off by floodwaters.

Rescue workers are using boats and helicopters to reach stranded residents and deliver aid. The government has declared a state of emergency in the affected areas.

The floods are the worst to hit Spain in decades and have caused an estimated billions of euros in damage.

The Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, has visited the affected areas and has pledged government support for the victims.

The floods are a reminder of the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events around the world. Climate change is making these events more common and more deadly.
