At least 10 people are dead and four are missing, including two children, from floodwaters triggered by heavy rainfall in central Italy early Friday, authorities said.
The country’s national fire service, Vigili del Fuoco, said nearly 200 firefighters were at work rescuing dozens of people through the night who took refuge on the roofs of houses and trees.
The agency posted videos to Twitter showing responders in the town of Senigallia, in the eastern Marche region, carrying out operations. Another 400 interventions were carried out in the provinces of Ancona and Pesaro-Urbino.
More than 15 inches of rain fell in central Italy as the Misa River, which flows through Senigallia, peaked early Friday morning, the local municipality said on Facebook.
