The situation in Emilia Romagna in Italy is increasingly dramatic due to the bad weather that has also engulfed other surrounding regions.
An amount of rain that had never been seen, caused the river level to rise in a few hours, filling everything, especially the areas between Rimini and Bologna.
Italian media reports that the number of victims rose to 9 and 24 municipalities were flooded, while all the rivers in the region burst their banks, causing massive flooding.
Over 13,000 people have been evacuated, but the number is expected to increase, while 50,000 have been left without electricity.
The Municipality of Bologna informs that the road network is at risk in many areas of the metropolitan city and the authorities call on the population to make only emergency trips.
Schools remain closed in most of the affected municipalities, especially in the areas of Bologna and Romagna.
Prime Minister Meloni spoke of maximum readiness to help the area of Emilia Romagna, while the Minister of Civil Defense Nello Musumeci asked for 20 million euros to cope with the situation in the area.
