Torrential weather hits Valencia region year after deadly floods

Spain’s Valencia region has been struck by more bad weather, a year after deadly floods killed more than 230 people there.

A red alert has been put in place as Storm Gabrielle hits the region. Footage shows floodwater in parts of Valencia and Zaragoza, in the neighbouring Aragon region.

The meteorological agency AEMET said between 160 and 200mm of rain had fallen in six to eight hours around the Ebro delta.

No injuries have been reported, but schools, libraries and parks are closed in Valencia on Monday.
