More than 200 casualties in Spain flood

The number of victims from catastrophic floods in Spain has increased to 205 on November 1st, while rescue teams have opened an improvised morgue in Valencia to deploy victims' bodies.

In Valancia, the eastern region of Spain that has been hit the hardest by floods, nearly 500 soldiers have been deployed to assist in search-saving operations and to help survivors.

Spanish officials said the number of victims would likely increase. The floods, caused by heavy rainfall, are the worst disaster in Spain's modern history and the deadliest in Europe since the '70s.

Rescue teams are also working to clean roads and find more people believed to be trapped in flooded areas.

Due to natural disaster, about 75,000 homes have been left without electricity, and firefighters are receiving fuel from abandoned vehicles of residents who have been evacuated to fill the generators so that they can continue operating in flooded areas.

Rainfall began on Tuesday evening and caused the destruction of roads, railway lines, and bridges as rivers left their beds.

While the water level has decreased in most parts of Vallencia, rescue teams have not yet managed to get to certain areas because of blocked roads.

The number of victims from the flood in Spain has been the highest in Europe since 1970, when 209 people had died in Romania.

Scientists have said that humanized climate change is causing extreme weather events to be more frequent, more intense, and longer.

Meteorologists believe that warming the Mediterranean, which increases the evaporation of water, plays a key role in making the rains more torrential. / REL
