A woman was found dead and at least 10 people were still missing on the southern Italian holiday island of Ischia yesterday, after a landslide engulfed buildings during heavy rain, said a local Italian government official.
Torrential rain hit the port of Casamicciola Terme, one of the six small towns on the island, in the early hours, triggering flooding and bringing down buildings.
“Currently the confirmed death toll is one, a woman. Eight missing persons have been found, including a child, and there still are around 10 missing,” said the prefect of Naples, Claudio Palomba.
