King Felipe has been booed and heckled while visiting the flood-ravaged region of Valencia. The Monarch was visiting the worst affected towns.

There have been protests against the government's response to the disaster - which has now killed at least 214 people. Tens of thousands of soldiers and police officers have been deployed to assist in the rescue effort.

Al Jazeera's Sonia Gallego has the latest from Paiporta on the outskirts of Valencia, Spain.
