The rainy weather and strong winds that hit Italy caused flooding and floods, especially in the Tuscany and Veneto regions.
Eugenio Gianni, head of the Tuscan regional government, stated in his statement that he had confirmed the death of another person in Montemurlo, the city of Prato, one of the places most affected by the floods, and said: “The death toll from this tragic day rose to 6. He said: “As the Tuscany region, we embrace The families of those who lost their lives.”
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced that they had declared a “state of emergency” for one year to heal the wounds of the disaster in the Tuscany region, which was most affected by the floods, and that the government had allocated 5 million euros in resources.
In the Italian press, the number of victims of the flood disaster reached 2.
It was reported that in the Tuscany region, where the severe weather alert level remained high, civil defense teams distributed sandbags to families to prevent floods.
He stated that the sea also overflowed in the northern tourist resort of Portofino, and the town square was flooded.
