An additional 500 soldiers are being deployed to Spain's Valencia region following heavy floods that began Monday, devastating communities and sparking public criticism over authorities’ response. Over 200 people have died, mostly in Valencia and nearby areas, and the death toll is expected to rise. The floods destroyed bridges, covered towns in mud, and cut off communities from essential resources like water, food, and electricity. Thousands of volunteers have joined clean-up efforts in rural areas, but authorities restricted traffic over the weekend to ensure emergency workers have clear access to affected regions amid ongoing rescue and recovery operations.
