Spain Braces for New Floods as Red Alerts Issued in Catalonia and Andalusia

Heavy rains threaten already devastated regions two weeks after deadly floods claimed over 200 lives.

Spain's meteorological agency, Aemet, has issued red alerts for parts of Catalonia and Andalusia due to anticipated torrential rains.
The recent weather warnings come after a deadly Mediterranean storm on October 29 led to the most lethal floods in decades, with 223 fatalities primarily in the Valencia region.
Schools in affected areas, including Valencia, Catalonia, and Andalusia, have been closed as a precaution against the severe weather conditions.
Authorities warn that existing infrastructure, such as sewage systems, may struggle to cope with the new deluge due to lingering mud and debris.
Public discontent over the handling of the crisis has sparked mass protests, with 130,000 people demonstrating in Valencia against the government's response.
