Heavy rain in Catalonia has caused injuries to seven people, according to various sources. The rain resulted in collapsing walls and several flooded streets, prompting firefighters to conduct over 200 interventions to manage the situation.

Some areas recorded nearly 200 liters of rain per square meter in a short period of time. The weather conditions disrupted normal activities in the region, leading to a significant increase in emergency responses.

Firefighting operations have been intensified, focusing on debris removal and assisting the most affected areas. The situation will continue to be monitored by authorities, given the volume of precipitation and the reported damage.
