At least eight people died in Italy from the landslides they brought the floods and torrential rains that hit the island of Ischia, according to the Minister of Infrastructure, Matteo Salvini. At the same time, the efforts of the firefighters continue to locate five other missing persons.
However, the situation is particularly difficult, as the island remains isolated due to weather conditions.
The rushing waters swept away dozens of cars and caused enormous damage to at least ten houses, some of which have collapsed. Thirty families cannot leave their homes, while this morning a hotel where dozens of tourists were staying was evacuated.
Cause of the great disaster and the collapse of a part of the mountainside, due to the incessant rain. Extreme weather phenomena had already caused major disasters in Ischia in 2009 and 2017. The mayors of the region are asking citizens not to move until the end of the state of emergency.
