LUGO: The death toll from floods that have devastated northeastern Italy rose to 13 on Thursday (May 19), according to media reports, driving thousands from their homes and destroying crops in an area
Agricultural lobby Coldiretti said Thursday that more than 5,000 farms were under water, with drowned animals and tens of thousands of hectares of vineyards, fruit trees, vegetables and grain flooded.
The mayor of Ravenna, Michele De Pascale, announced Thursday that residents of about a half dozen towns could return, but warned them"to exercise the utmost caution". The body of the woman, in her 60s, was pulled 20km by rushing waters to the beach in Cesenatico, according to SkyTG24. Experts warn such disasters are becoming the norm due to human-induced climate change which is exacerbating both droughts and storms.On Thursday, Bonaccini compared the floods to the earthquake that hit the region on May 20, 2012, almost 11 years ago to the day.
