PAIPORTA/MADRID—At least 89 people remain missing after deadly floods in eastern Spain, the regional judicial authorities in Valencia said on Tuesday, and Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said he was earmarking 10.6 billion euros ($11.6 billion) to help victims.

The number includes only those who have been reported missing by family members that have also provided personal information and biological samples to allow for their identification, the Superior Court of Justice of Valencia Region said in a statement. It added that there could be more cases of people who have disappeared whose details have not yet been registered.
