There is growing public anger over the government's handling of the country's deadliest storm in living memory.

Crews in Spain searched for flood survivors as teams stepped up efforts to pump water from flooded carparks into Monday, per Spanish outlet El País. Why it matters: The climate-change-worsened flooding has killed 214 people as of Monday morning.

A crowd of enraged survivors hurled clots of mud left by storm-spawned flooding at the Spanish royal couple on Sunday during their first visit to the epicenter of their nation's deadliest natural disaster in living memory.

King Felipe, Queen Letizia and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez were met with anger in Paiporta, a town badly hit by the devastating floods in Valencia.

They came by bus, by tractor or on foot. They waded through mud hoping to help clean up neighborhoods washed away by floodwaters that have killed at least 214 people. Thousands of Spanish citizens made their way to flood-ravaged Valencia over the weekend after the country’s worst natural disaster in recent history left the nation shocked by images of overturned cars and brick homes torn apart by furious water.

Spain PM said the government plans to spend as much as 838 million euros in direct cash handouts to people affected by the floods that left 217 dead last week in the worst such disaster in Spain’s modern history.

Spain has earmarked 10.6 billion euros ($11.55 billion) in loans and grants to help the victims of the flash floods that hit the eastern coast of the country around Valencia last week, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Tuesday.

Barcelona's El Prat airport, Spain's second busiest, said 50 flights were cancelled or delayed and 17 diverted on Monday, while the city closed some flooded metro stations and regional trains were suspended.

Emergency workers continued the search for victims of last week’s flash floods, while a national debate raged over who was to blame for the catastrophe.
