STORYLINE:
Spanish firefighters and military emergency units were still searching flooded fields and irrigation canals in the southern suburbs of Valencia on Friday morning, after flash floods on Oct. 29 killed at least 219 people.
The rural area is very close to the Sedaví area and Catarroja area and a very busy highway, that were severely hit by a wave of mud and water.
Search teams are suggesting that there could still be several missing bodies as many cars were dragged into the fields.
Spain’s catastrophic floods have left behind staggering devastation and despair.
At least 93 people are officially missing, after more than a week since the floods hit.
Insurance claims have reached 116,000 with 60% of the claims for cars and 31% for homes.
Some 17,000 troops and police officers have been deployed, and thousands of citizens are volunteering to help clean layer after layer of mud and debris.
