Flash Flooding in Southern Spain Claims 95 Lives, Rescue Efforts Underway.

Spain:

Southern Spain is reeling from devastating flash floods that have resulted in at least 95 fatalities, including a British man, 71, who died shortly after being rescued in Malaga. Rescue teams are actively searching for those still missing as communities grapple with the aftermath.

Andalusia’s president confirmed the tragic loss, while King Felipe VI described the situation as one of “enormous destruction” to infrastructure, complicating access to affected areas. Eyewitness footage shared on social media shows floodwaters wreaking havoc, sweeping away vehicles and forcing individuals to cling to trees for safety.

Local authorities are also combating the spread of misinformation, particularly regarding the safety of tap water in Valencia, urging residents to remain vigilant and informed.
