Spain: Heavy rains in Barcelona disrupt rail service amid search for victims in Valencia

Source: ABC News

“The recurrent storms in eastern Spain that led to massive flooding last week and killed at least 217 people, mostly near Valencia, dumped rain on Barcelona on Monday, prompting authorities to suspend commuter rail service. Spanish Transport Minister Oscar Puente said he was suspending all commuter trains in northeast Catalonia, a region with 8 million people, on request from civil protection officials. … Meanwhile, in Valencia, the search continued for bodies inside houses and thousands of wrecked cars strewn in the streets, on highways, and in canals that channeled last week’s floods into populated areas. Spain’s Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska said that authorities can still not give a reliable estimate of the missing.” (11/04/24)
