Severe flooding has resulted in huge issues across parts of Spain as some areas saw rainfall for the first time in months.
Areas of Spain have been hit with periods of heavy rain in recent days that have resulted in flash floods.
The rainfall has turned some streets to rivers in Murcia amid flooded buildings flooded, submerged and countless road closures across southern parts of the country. Emergency services were forced to battle to drain the inundated streets as the period of bad weather continues following a period of drought.
Another area of concern is that of Molina del Segura, where rescue forces have been drafted in as the situation had been life threatening. The flooding throughout last week claimed at least 14 lives as 21 rivers overran their banks. There were at least 300 landslides triggered across the country as rain continued to fall upon terrain that had been parched for months.
