00:00Spanish military units are searching for bodies in rivers in the country's east.
00:06Local officials reported on Tuesday that at least 89 people are still missing after the
00:10region's deadly floods.
00:12The count includes only those reported missing by family who provided information and DNA.
00:18More missing people may still be unreported.
00:22More than 200 people were confirmed to have died last week after heavy rains caused rivers
00:27to overflow, flooding suburbs south of Valencia and sweeping away cars and bridges, and flooding
00:32homes and parking areas.
00:35The court said coroners have done hundreds of autopsies, but many victims have yet to
00:39be identified.
00:40The science ministry announced on Tuesday that a research vessel will arrive in Valencia
00:45on November 9 to assist in the search.
00:48It said the vessel can capture detailed images of the seafloor and reach difficult areas.
00:53Some think the missing may have been carried out to the sea.
00:56Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said he is setting aside 10.6 billion euros, or
01:02about 11.6 billion dollars, to help victims.
01:06The aid includes money for small businesses and freelancers, billions of euros in loans,
01:11and full clean-up costs, with the national government covering half of infrastructure
01:15repairs.
01:16More than 100,000 cars were damaged by the floods, and the damage to businesses could
01:21reach over 10 billion euros, or almost 11 billion dollars.
