Civil defense teams carry out about 200 rescue operations, with responders working to free people affected by the flooding. Both incidents occur amid challenging conditions that disrupt daily life and require emergency services in different parts of Spain.

Across the coverage provided, the focus is on the parallel response efforts: firefighting operations and evacuations in the Valencia area, alongside rescue missions in Catalonia after flooding incidents.
