Madrid: The death toll from the devastating storms and flooding that struck eastern and southern Spain more than a week ago has risen to 219 as rescue workers continue their search for victims, according to Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska.
Speaking to radio broadcaster Cadena Ser, Grande-Marlaska said that two more bodies had been found in the Castilla-La Mancha region. Rescue work continued on Thursday, with many settlements still covered in mud, underground garages flooded and buildings made inaccessible due to cars and debris blocking roads.
Cadena Ser reported that 93 people were still listed as missing according to Valencia authorities. (DPA)
