CHIVA, Spain — Three days after historic flash floods swept through towns in Spain and killed at least 205 people, the initial shock was giving way to anger, frustration and a wave of solidarity on Friday.
Spanish emergency authorities raised the death toll to at least 205 victims, 202 of them in Valencia alone.
Many streets are still blocked by piled-up vehicles and debris, in some cases trapping residents in their homes.
Some places still don’t have electricity, running water, or stable telephone connections.
It’s a disaster and there is very little help,” said Emilio Cuartero, a resident of Masanasa, on the outskirts of Valencia.
