Deadly Floods Ravage Northern Italy, Triggering Evacuations

At least five people have died and thousands have been evacuated from northern Italy and Croatia as torrential rain causes devastating floods.

Desperate families, including children and the elderly, take refuge on rooftops in the hardest-hit region of Emilia-Romagna, awaiting helicopter rescues.

In Bosnia and Croatia, homes are swiftly submerged, prompting the mayor of Bosanska Krupa to declare an "apocalypse" with unprecedented levels of flooding. Four people have died, and 5,000 residents have been evacuated from 24 towns in Emilia-Romagna. A 70-year-old man loses his life in a flooded home outside Cesena, while another fatality occurs in Forli as the Montone river overflows. The floods are described as the worst the town has ever experienced.
