Spain

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez says the government is sending 5,000 more soldiers and 5,000 more police to the eastern region of Valencia after deadly floods this week that killed more than 200 people.

Flash floods caused by heavy downpours in eastern Spain swept away everything in their path earlier this week. At least 205 have been killed as of Friday.

The aftermath looked eerily similar to the damage left by a strong hurricane or tsunami.

Authorities say flash floods in Spain turned village streets into rivers, ruined homes, disrupted transportation and killed at least 95 people.

Devastating floods have killed at least 205 people in eastern and southern Spain, local officials announced Friday.
