Images Of Heavily Flooded Spanish Delta In Storm Gloria

These startling images show how storm Gloria has devastated Spain’s Ebro river delta causing serious flooding as the sea washed nearly two miles inland.

Aerial footage taken at the Ebro river delta, located in the eastern Spanish region of Tarragona, Catalonia region, shows how the area has been left almost entirely underwater by the storm which has left 10 people dead and six people missing.

The footage was shot by firefighters in the Far del Fangar area and shows how 300 hectares of rice paddies were flooded by the sea which came three kilometres (1.8 miles) inland.
