One woman died and around a dozen other people were still missing Saturday after heavy rains caused a landslide on the Italian island of Ischia, officials and emergency services said.
CASAMICCIOLA TERME, Italy —
A woman’s body was found by rescuers, while around a dozen or so people were unaccounted for by early Saturday evening, according to the prefect of Naples, Claudio Palomba. The rescue effort was hampered by continued rain and high winds, which also delayed ferries bringing reinforcements from the mainland.
Trees were upturned and cars left battered on the side of the road or in the water, according to AFP journalists. Officials later said they expected to evacuate and find temporary homes for between 150 and 200 people by Saturday evening.
