In Spain, where the worst flood disaster occurred, a royal couple who visited the affected area were beaten with abuse and mud.

While the death toll has risen to 217, dozens of people are still unknown.

It was a strong public outrage to greet the king and his wife who visited the Paiporta area in Valencia, where more than 60 people were killed in the downpour.

Angry residents surrounded the king's party, hurling abuse and throwing mud at them.

"Killer, Murderers"
Poor response by authorities, such as
disaster text messages taking more than 10 hours, has caused tremendous casualties,

In addition, the search and recovery operations were delayed, causing anger.

There were also angry complaints about the family who were swept away by the torrent and asked to find a friend.

[Nuria Chisbert / resident Piforta] Please, the bodies are still in the garage. The family is looking for relatives and friends. Please come and help me.]

Panicked by the furious anger of the residents, the king's party rushed to wrap up the schedule and canceled visits to other affected areas.

Unlike poor government efforts, thousands of volunteers are rushing to flood-stricken areas to help.

However, there are still many places where it is not easy to access, so it is not easy to search for missing people.

[Jose Maria Gonzalez / Firefighter: I heard there could be 12 to 15 deaths in the underground parking lot. They said they saw people go in, but they didn't see them come out, but they can't figure it out right now.

The Spanish government has said it will deploy the largest number of soldiers and police to recover and search, but it is not enough.

As of Thursday, 217 people were reported dead, and dozens are still missing, raising the number of victims.
