At least four people are killed and more than 400 rescued as Storm Adam floods eastern Spain

Two of the dead were retrieved in the coastal resort of Oliva: a 79-year-old woman found in her home and a man whose fatal heart attack occurred at a campsite. A 55-year-old woman drowned after entering the water at Almardà Beach in Sagunto despite an amber alert being in force. Parts of Valencia recorded up to 700 litres of rain per square metre within 24 hours. At the height of the emergency, around 800,000 people were told to stay indoors.

Guardia Civil footage shows an officer carrying a woman on his back through floodwater in Oliva.

Chef Javier Fornez in Els Poblets: 'Some people have lost everything all over again.'

The region is still recovering from the 2024 floods, which claimed more than 230 lives.
