Yesterday, the Italian rescue teams found the body of the last person who was still missing in the landslide that occurred about two weeks ago on the island of Ischia in the Gulf of Naples, bringing the final death toll from the disaster to 12.
On November 26, heavy rains led to a landslide in Casamicciola Terme, a small town that was swept away by a huge torrent of mud and rubble, destroying homes and sweeping away cars, some of which reached the sea.
And on Tuesday, the Italian Civil Defense announced in a tweet on Twitter that they had found the body of the last person who was still missing in the disaster.
The Civil Defense attached a picture of its members working in an area still covered with mud and rubble and personal belongings that were swept away by the devastating torrent.
The civil defense did not announce the identity of this latest victim, but Italian media said she was a 31-year-old woman.
The Italian government declared a state of emergency in Ischia following the landslide.
The disaster resulted from a combination of factors, namely heavy rains, unstable soils, deforestation, excessive urban expansion, in addition to the lack of maintenance and prevention.
