Devastating floods in Spain: 'Europe ready to help,' says EU chief | DW News

Rescue workers in Spain continue to search for bodies in the wake of flooding that killed at least 158 people in the eastern Valencia region. The coastal area of Murcia was also badly hit.

Satellite images of Valencia before and after the floods show the extent of the damage. It's the worst flooding to hit Spain in more than three decades - with a year's worth of rain falling in just a day.

Many of those affected are angry about what they say is an inadequate crisis response by authorities. Our correspondent reports from one of the worst-affected communities.
