PAIPORTA, Spain, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Spain sent more soldiers on Monday to its
flood-hit east where rescuers scoured underground carparks for bodies and
protests bubbled over the government's handling of a disaster that has killed at least 217 people.
The army sent about 5,000 soldiers over the weekend to help distribute food and water, clean up streets and guard against looters. A further 2,500 would join them, Defence Minister Margarita Robles told state-owned radio RNE.
