Heavy rainfall has claimed the lives of women and men in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna. The survivors are struggling with chaos and devastation – there is no all-clear.
Within just under two days, as much rain fell in some places as normally in half a year. At least 23 rivers overflowed their banks in the region, according to authorities. The highest red alert level continues to apply in the affected area, and evacuations continue. For the coming days, rain is again forecast in areas around the affected cities of Ravenna, Forlì and Cesena.
