Over a hundred people are still unable to return to their homes on Thursday after flood waters had forced them to flee their homes in northern Spain. Rising river as the result of heavy rainfall and melting snow in the north of Spain saw hundreds of people forced to evacuate their houses in the provinces of Pirineo de Huesca and Lleida earlier this week. Although no further rain is forecast in the near future and river levels have begun to return to their usual levels, 18 municipalities are still on alert in case anything unsuspected should happen. Meanwhile the town of Benasque, in the region of Aragon, which was also badly affected by rising waters, is now accessible after the waters had closed the main N-260 road, which is now open to cars and light vehicles. The regional government of Aragon has promised financial aid to all of those who have been affected by the floods, assuring residents that money will not be a problem. The floods in the region come just over a week after the city of Pamplona experienced what were described as the 'worst floods' in the city's history as rising water caused the river Arga to overflow. Spain has seen one of its wettest years on record so far this year.
