Floods in some regions of Spain have killed 217 people, of whom 133 have been identified, and 89 are still missing. This is stated in a press release issued on 5 November by the regional judicial authorities of Valencia.
According to Reuters, the affected regions include Valencia, Castilla-La Mancha and Andalusia, where at least 217 people have died from the floods. Authorities say that only 133 victims have been identified so far, and 62 more bodies need to be identified.
‘According to the National Police and the Civil Guard, as of 20:00 on 5 November, 89 cases of missing persons were reported as a result of the floods. These cases relate purely to complaints where relatives have provided other data and biological samples that allow further identification of their relatives,’ the judicial authorities said in a statement.
Relatives of missing persons can facilitate identification by providing photographs, personal profiles, anthropometric data, medical documents, X-rays, personal belongings, tattoo images, dental records, information about surgical interventions, prostheses or pacemakers to special offices.
For the convenience of relatives who cannot travel to Valencia, mobile offices have been opened in other regions of Spain. They are open daily from 9:00 to 21:00.
