Spain floods: Police rescue baby, stranded flood victims as thousands evacuate to safety

Описание: Dramatic video shows Spanish police on Sunday rescuing residents stranded in the southeastern town Dolores and Benferri after their home was surrounded by floodwaters caused by two days of torrential rains earlier in the week.

A baby was rescued from a building surrounded by floodwater on Saturday, as military emergency unit workers battled waist-high floodwaters to get her to safety following two days of torrential rain in southeastern Spain.

Floods swept away cars and debris in the regions of Valencia, Murcia and eastern Andalucia. Motorway tunnels in some areas were flooded almost up to the tunnel lighting, with some vehicles partly or fully submerged.

The death toll is at least six after a 41-year-old man was found dead on Saturday in Orihuela, Spain.
