Hundreds of Valencia residents gathered Saturday at Mestalla soccer stadium to prepare and distribute food for the affected neighbors.
Spain will deploy 10,000 more troops and police officers to the eastern Valencia region devastated by floods that have killed 211 people, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Saturday.
Sanchez said in a televised address that he accepted the regional leader's request for 5,000 more troops and informed him of a further deployment of 5,000 police officers and civil guards.
Meanwhile, rescuers resumed a grim search for bodies as the nation scrambled to organize aid to stricken citizens.
