A disaster relief unit of Spain's military was deployed to the northeastern city of Zaragoza after severe storms caused flooding across the province on Saturday (July 11).
Footage shared by the Military Emergencies Unit, or UME, showed responders draining excess water and installing roadblocks to prevent further flooding near Ribera del Ebro.
“We continue our works of achique, pumping and clearing roads to return normality to the neighbors of the Ribera del Ebro,” it said in a post on social media.
Spanish weather agency AEMET said there was high potential for flash floods in eight provinces, including Huesca, Teruel and Zaragoza, Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona, and Castellón.
