Spain flash floods: 51 people killed in Valencia

At least 51 people have died and 350,000 homes are without power after flash floods hit eastern Spain

The storms, which began on Saturday night, caused widespread damage across the region, with Valencia and Alicante particularly badly affected. Roads and railways have been blocked, and many areas are still without electricity.

The floods have been described as the worst in living memory, and the death toll is expected to rise as rescue workers continue to search for missing people.

The floods were caused by heavy rainfall, which turned rivers into raging torrents

The water overwhelmed bridges and roads, and swept away cars and buildings.

Many people were trapped in their homes, and some were forced to climb onto their roofs to escape the rising water.

The Spanish government has declared a state of emergency in the affected areas

The government has sent in the army to help with the rescue effort, and is providing financial assistance to those who have been affected by the floods.

The floods have caused widespread damage to infrastructure and property, and it is estimated that it will take months to repair the damage.

The floods are a reminder of the dangers of climate change

The changing climate is leading to more extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts, and heat waves.

These events are becoming more frequent and more severe, and they are having a devastating impact on communities around the world.

The floods in Spain are a wake-up call for the world to take action on climate change.
