Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, announces the largest army deployment in peacetime, with 10,000 more police and soldiers being sent to help people recover from the deadly flooding. The death toll in the Valencia region has risen to 211 people. But local have criticized the authorities for being poorly prepared, saying they feel "abandoned by the government".

At least 158 people have died in Spain's worst flooding disaster in generations as rescuers battle odds to find survivors.
"Right now the most important thing is to save as many lives as possible," Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez told victims in a visit to affected communities.
But in some of the towns worst-hit in Tuesday night's floods, people were left to the task of recovering bodies from the mud and wreckage. "We all know someone who has died," said pharmacist Miguel Guerrilla, standing outside his chemist shop which has been covered in thick mud.
Questions have been asked over whether disaster management services issued warnings too late.

At least 51 people are known to have died after torrential rain caused flash floods in south-eastern Spain, authorities have said. Local officials in Valencia say it is "impossible" to put a final figure on the number of people who have died. Much of the country has been badly hit by heavy rain and hailstorms, triggering rapid flooding across multiple areas. In the town of Chiva near Valencia more than a year's worth of rain fell in just eight hours.
