00:00Dozens have been killed in floods sweeping through Spain's Valencia region, according
00:06to local authorities on Wednesday.
00:09This followed torrential rains on Tuesday, which left roads and towns submerged.
00:15Videos shared on social media showed people trapped by floodwaters.
00:19In some, people climbed trees to avoid being swept away.
00:23Other footage showed firefighters rescuing trapped drivers on flooded streets.
00:28Valencia's regional leader said some people remained isolated in areas that were, quote,
00:33absolutely impossible to reach.
00:36The region was put on red alert.
00:39Emergency services urged people to avoid any kind of road travel, while trains to Madrid
00:44and Barcelona were cancelled.
00:47In the worst-hit areas, schools were also closed.
00:50The death toll appears to be Europe's worst from flooding since 2021, when almost 200
00:56people died, mainly in Germany.
00:58Scientists say extreme weather events in the region are becoming more frequent due to climate
01:03change.
01:05Meteorologists think the warming of the Mediterranean, which increases water evaporation, plays a
01:11key role in making torrential rains more severe.
