The flash flooding, described as the deadliest natural disaster in the Valencian Community since 1957, was sparked by torrential rains that dumped over a month's worth of precipitation in just a few days. The provinces of Valencia, Castile-La Mancha, Albacete, and Andalusia were severely affected, with the city of Chiva receiving a staggering 500 liters per square meter of rainfall.

The Spanish government has established a crisis committee to coordinate the national response to the disaster. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is closely monitoring the situation, and the Military Emergencies Unit has been deployed to aid rescue efforts. Over 1,000 Spanish troops have been deployed to the worst-affected areas, working tirelessly to locate missing persons and provide aid to those affected.

The floodwaters have caused significant damage to buildings, roads, and infrastructure, sweeping away roads and cars, and even derailing a high-speed rail train carrying nearly 300 people. Valencia City Hall has reported extensive damage to public facilities, including schools and sports centers.

The disaster has disrupted daily life in Valencia, with:

- School classes suspended

- Sports events cancelled

- Flights diverted or cancelled due to heavy rainfall and winds

- The Seville book fair suspended

The international community is rallying around Spain, offering condolences and support. Leaders from the European Union, the United States, and other countries have expressed sympathy and solidarity with the Spanish people.
