Heavy rainfall has triggered massive landslides on the Italian island of Ischia, collapsing buildings and leaving as many as 12 people missing.
Italy‘s Interior Minister said no deaths had yet been confirmed, appearing to contradict an early announcement by Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini who said eight people had died.
Torrential rain hit the port of Casamicciola Terme, one of the six small towns on the island, in the early hours of Saturday, triggering major flooding which crushed cars and turned streets on the island into rivers.
‘At the moment there are no confirmed deaths,’ said Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi, speaking from the firefighters’ emergency coordination center.
Mr. Salvini, who is also the infrastructure minister, earlier said that eight deaths had been confirmed, speaking to reporters at the opening of a subway extension in Milan.
