The death toll from devastating flash floods in eastern Spain climbed to 158 yesterday, with rescue teams still searching for those missing in what could become Europe’s worst storm-related disaster in over five decades.
“There’s a total of 158 people to which must be added dozens and dozens of missing,” Angel Victor Torres, minister in charge of co-operation with Spain’s regions, told a press conference.
