Two people have died in Catalonia as the region is hit by torrential rain and flooding
On Sunday, Spanish Civil Protection sent a new Es-Alert to five Catalan counties reminding residents of travel restrictions, after Barcelona saw its wettest day in at least 20 years and the Besòs river passed the danger threshold.
Two people have tragically died and another is missing after torrential rain and flooding hit Catalonia, in north-eastern Spain. Catalan regional president Salvador Illa confirmed the second death in a social media post, while firefighters reported that the missing individual had been swept away by a stream in Pineda de Mar, a town north of Barcelona.
The Catalan Civil Protection has issued new emergency alerts to residents in several affected counties, urging them to avoid non-essential journeys while travel restrictions remain in place.
