Video. Málaga floods wreak havoc as storms lash Spain again

Updated:

Spain is grappling with another wave of extreme weather, only weeks after flash floods devastated Valencia and other regions, killing over 220 people.

Torrential rains in Málaga forced 3,000 residents to evacuate, while the city recorded its worst flooding in decades, further disrupting healthcare and transport services.

As local anger grows over the government's handling of climate-related disasters, thousands recently protested, demanding political accountability for perceived inaction.

The Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez promised a full review of response measures after the crisis.

Meanwhile, world leaders at the UN’s COP29 climate summit have highlighted Spain’s storms as a warning of escalating climate risks without urgent emissions cuts.
