More flooding hits Spain as at least 217 people confirmed dead | BBC News


The Spanish city of Barcelona has been hit by flooding, as search and rescue efforts continue following devastating flooding around Valencia.

Spain’s state meteorological agency placed parts of the Catalonia region on red alert, with cars submerged on highways and flooding at Barcelona’s El Prat airport, where many flights were cancelled.

Search teams confirmed that at least 217 people are now known to have died in the flooding which struck the Valencia region. The storm trapped many victims in vehicles on roads and in underground spaces, such as car parks, tunnels and garages.
