In his Sunday Angelus, Pope Francis expressed solidarity with the people affected by floods in Spain, volcanic eruptions in Indonesia and post-election violence in Mozambique. The Pope offered his prayers for the victims, the displaced and their families. Ten persons are confirmed dead and dozens injured as emergency evacuations are underway to move resident away from the eruption areas.

The extreme flooding affected southern and eastern Spain in late October following heavy rains. Over 200 people died and emergency services are continuing their search for hundreds still missing. The natural disaster has been called the worst in Spain's living memory.
