In a devastating week for Spain, the death toll from catastrophic flooding has risen to at least 205, marking one of the country's deadliest disasters in recent history. The flooding, which struck particularly hard in Valencia, saw over a year's worth of rain fall in just eight hours on Tuesday, leading to widespread destruction as floodwaters piled up cars and damaged infrastructure.
