Victim death toll rises to five in Spain as flood victims lose everything 'all over again'

Pego in Alicante province received 632mm of rain in just 36 hours. In Els Poblets, floodwater left cars and vans heaped in tangled stacks. Chef Javier Fornez, 49, said it was 'exactly the same thing' as in 2007. A 79-year-old woman was found dead in her home in Oliva, and a man died of a heart attack at a campsite there.

Around 800,000 residents were ordered to shelter in place on Monday morning.

Air and land rescue operations by security forces in Valencia exceeded 400 by the end of the response.

Ibiza airport logged 173mm in 24 hours, its highest total since records began in 1944.
