Published: 2024-10-27

Northern Italy is grappling with severe flooding as heavy rains have caused rivers and streams to overflow, particularly affecting the regions of Alessandria and Savona.

The Bormida River has breached its banks in several areas, leading to significant flooding in towns like Acqui Terme and Cairo Montenotte.

Emergency services have been working tirelessly to manage the crisis, with barriers erected to prevent further damage.

Roads and railways have been disrupted, and some communities have been left isolated due to landslides and rising waters.

The situation remains critical as authorities continue to monitor the weather conditions closely.
