At least 72 people, including children, have been killed and dozens are still missing in Spain’s deadliest flooding for decades.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez warned that the storm was not over yet after torrential rain battered the eastern region of Valencia on Tuesday, leaving roads and towns under water.

The flooding showed vehicles being washed away and water levels rising above trees after a year’s worth of rain fell in some parts of the country.

Authorities reported that the death toll across Spain has risen to 72.

Among those reported to have been killed in the Valencia region were a married couple, two children, and a baby in the city of Torrent, while two men, a woman, and a baby died in the Paiporta municipality.

Victims in Chiva, Cheste, and Alfafar were also reported. More than 1,000 troops are being deployed to help with the rescue operation.

Hundreds of drivers have been reported trapped on motorways, and scores of people are still unaccounted for.

In Albacete, six people, including two council workers, are believed to be missing after a river burst its banks. Sanchez warned people to continue to take special care, as there are still weather warnings in Andalucía, Valencia, Aragón, Castilla y León, Cataluña, Extremadura, Navarra, La Rioja, and Ceuta.
