Spain's central government will cover the full cost of rebuilding schools, libraries and other municipal buildings damaged in last year's deadly floods, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said Thursday.

He added that the central government will also pick up the full 500-million-euro tab to repair the damage done to water treatment, supply and sanitation infrastructure by the floods.

Sanchez's government has until now put together aid packages collectively worth 16.6 billion euros in grants and loans to help stricken citizens. The October 2024 floods caused significant damage in about 80 cities and claimed 232 lives nationwide. Most of the deaths were in Valencia.
