Alfafar, Spain | Spanish rescuers opened a temporary morgue in a convention centre and battled to reach areas still cut off on Saturday (AEDT) as the death toll from catastrophic floods rose to 205 people in Europe’s worst weather disaster in five decades.
In Valencia, the eastern region that bore the brunt of the devastation, about 500 soldiers were deployed to hunt for people who are still missing and help survivors of the storm, which triggered a fresh weather alert in Huelva in southwestern Spain.
