Shocking satellite images show the extent of the Valencia flood disaster.
Spain is suffering its worst flood in decades after torrential rains struck the eastern province. The death toll is climbing and people remain missing.
In response, the Copernicus Emergency Rapid Mapping Service has been activated to provide satellite imagery that can support rescue and recovery efforts. Copernicus is the Earth observation component of the European Union's space program.
Images from the US Landsat-8 satellite vividly illustrate the scale of the disaster, with observations from 8 October and 30 October showing the dramatic transformation of the landscape.
According to Spain’s national weather agency, Aemet, on October 29, Valencia received a year’s worth of rain in just eight hours. This deluge caused devastating flash floods, turning streets into rivers, destroying homes, and sweeping away vehicles.
