Spanish royals visit flood-hit region

Valencia - Spain's King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia yesterday visited the Valencia region, Spanish media reported, where devastating floods have killed more than 200 people.

Hopes of finding survivors ebbed five days after torrents of muddy water wrecked towns and infrastructure in Spain's worst such disaster in decades.

Almost all the deaths have been in the Valencia region, where thousands of security and emergency services frantically cleared debris and mud in the search for bodies.
