Italy

Italy has declared a state of emergency after days of heavy rainfall caused severe flooding in several regions, including Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany. Thousands of residents have been evacuated, and significant damage has been reported to homes, businesses, and infrastructure.  Emergency services are working tirelessly to rescue stranded individuals and provide humanitarian aid. The government has allocated €1 billion for disaster relief and rebuilding efforts. Climate experts warn that extreme weather events like this could become more frequent due to climate change.
