MADRID, Oct 30 (Reuters) - At least 13 people have died
in flash floods affecting southeastern Spain, state broadcaster
TVE reported on Wednesday, citing police.
Hours earlier, the leader of the Valencia region told
reporters that an unspecified number of corpses had been found
but did not provide a number "out of respect for the families".
Torrential rains caused by a cold front moving across the
country's south and east had been flooding roads and towns on
Tuesday, prompting authorities in the worst-hit areas to advise
citizens to stay at home and avoid all non-essential travel.
