Firefighters continue to rescue people in isolated villages or trapped in their homes, 48 hours after severe flooding that has left at least 14 dead and more than 20,000 evacuated from the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, while they fear new rains with almost all the rivers on alert.
Rescue operations are complex due to the numerous breakdowns reported in the electrical and telephone networks, since many people find themselves unable to communicate, in addition to the fact that dozens of regional roads are impassable due to landslides.
