According to the government, at least eight people died on the Italian island of Ischia after a severe storm and landslides.
Authorities in the northern coastal town of Casamicciola continued to search for several missing people.
The people lived accordingly in houses that were damaged by a mudslide.
According to the fire brigade, they had been on duty since the early morning due to flooding and landslides. Emergency services rescued two people from a car that was torn into the sea. The authorities from Naples sent further reinforcements to the popular Mediterranean holiday island from the mainland. According to the fire department, boats and helicopters had difficulty reaching the island.
Television images and a video from the fire department showed completely wrecked cars, mud-covered roads, swept debris and a slope where a landslide appeared to have gone. According to media reports, some families were locked in their homes.
The authorities instructed people in several municipalities on the island to stay at home. Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni thanked the rescue workers for their work, as announced by their official seat in Rome. She is in contact with the local authorities. Ischia Mayor Enzo Ferrandino ordered schools, parks and cemeteries to be closed on Saturday due to the announced storm.
