Valencia Floods

Rescuers raised the death toll in Spain's worst floods for a generation to 205 on Friday and fears grew for the dozens missing as hopes of finding survivors faded.

Rescuers have scrambled to get survivors off roofs with helicopters while others have searched houses some with water up to their necks.

The death toll from flash floods that have ravaged parts of eastern Spain has climbed to at least 72 people, emergency services and officials said on Wednesday.

Several bodies have been recovered by emergency service workers in Spain's eastern region of Valencia after torrential rains triggered flash floods, the head of the regional government said Wednesday.

Five people have died and three more are missing as floods hit two southern Philippine cities, forcing about 400 residents to flee their submerged homes, officials said Wednesday.
