Some 93 people are listed as missing after devastating floods ravaged southeastern Spain over a week ago, killing more than 200, regional judicial authorities in Valencia said on Wednesday.
Valencia’s superior court of justice had on Tuesday listed 89 people as missing but said another four missing persons had been reported to law enforcement officers on Wednesday.
The worst floods to hit Spain in a generation have killed at least 219 people, mostly in the Valencia region.
That figure is expected to rise with many of the missing people presumed to have died, although the court said that authorities have not ruled out finding some of them alive.
Search and rescue operations on Wednesday targeted underground garages and waterways in the Valencia region.
The 15,000 police and soldiers deployed to the region have been helping clean up the devastation and repair roads and infrastructure.
Spain’s government on Tuesday announced an aid package worth 10.6 billion euros ($11.5 billion) to rebuild the devastated regions.
On Wednesday, the European Investment Bank also pledged 900 million euros to finance reconstruction in the affected regions.
