“It is a tragedy,” said the head of the Italian Civil Protection
“It is a tragedy,” said the head of Italy’s Civil Protection, Fabrizio Curzio, referring to the floods that caused casualties and massive damage on the island of Ischia in Lower Italy.
At 5 in the morning, the mud covered the area of ​​Casamiciola, on this small island near Naples. Italy’s infrastructure minister, Matteo Salvini, said there were at least eight dead, but the local government of Lower Italy said a dozen were missing. A while ago, the Italian media reported that the body of a woman was found, who is said to be a foreigner from an Eastern European country.
The Italian Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piandendozzi, emphasized that “the situation is difficult, because there are people who do not answer their phones and may be under the mud.” By evening, about two hundred residents are likely to leave their homes, to be able to move to safe areas.
The sea in the area remains rough, which makes it particularly difficult for rescuers to arrive. The Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, is constantly monitoring the progress of the rescue operations, in contact with the Campania region and the Italian Civil Protection.
