Thousands of volunteers help with clean up in flood-hit Valencia | BBC News


Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has ordered 5,000 more troops and 5,000 police officers and civil guards to the Valencia region after catastrophic flooding.

Thousands of people have also travelled to the city to support the clean up.

Heavy rains that began on Monday caused floods that destroyed bridges and covered towns with mud, cutting off communities and leaving them without water, food or electricity.

More than 200 people are confirmed dead, with the toll expected to rise further.
