paiporta, valencia, spain - Paiporta, a town in the Valencia province of Spain, has been heavily affected by severe flooding, resulting in a significant number of casualties. Local authorities are overwhelmed by the situation.

Paiporta, a town with a population of 25,000 located southwest of Valencia, has been devastated by unprecedented rainfall, with 40 reported deaths so far. The local emergency services were caught off guard, facing challenges in rescuing individuals stranded by the sudden downpour.

Excessive rainfall caused the overflowing of the Poyo River, leading to significant damage across the town. A nursing home was particularly affected, with water levels rising over a meter high, endangering elderly residents. Tragically, several residents did not survive the ordeal.

The force of the water was so intense that the Paiporta bridge collapsed under its pressure, illustrating the severity of the situation. Panic ensued throughout the town as families frantically searched for missing loved ones and struggled to stay afloat amidst the chaotic waters.

The Mayor of Paiporta described the situation as 'particularly tragic and apocalyptic,' emphasizing that the town was unprepared for such a disaster. Basic utilities like electricity, telephone, and internet services are disrupted, further isolating the town from outside assistance. The Mayor expressed concern that the death toll may continue to rise as the full extent of the damage becomes clear.
