Almost half of the people who died in the floods in Spanish Valencia were 70 years or older, authorities report.

More than 220 people died across the country during the floods at the end of October, of which 216 were in the Valencia region.

104 of them were 70 years or older. There are more men than women who lost their lives in the disaster.

Among the victims were 190 Spaniards and around twenty with foreign citizenship, regional authorities report.

The work of searching for and identifying victims continues in Valencia, where more people are feared to be missing still.
