The town of Utiel in Valencia has been devastated by severe flooding, resulting in the tragic deaths of at least six elderly residents.
The usually calm Magro River transformed into a destructive torrent, inundating homes and trapping many with limited mobility.
The floodwaters reached the ceilings of houses, leaving a trail of destruction and loss.
Emergency services, including the Military Emergency Unit, have been deployed to assist in rescue and recovery efforts.
Over a thousand military personnel are working tirelessly to aid the affected areas, using advanced equipment to manage the floodwaters.
The community is grappling with the aftermath, as residents come together to clean and rebuild amidst the widespread devastation.
