Eight dead in landslide on Italy's Ischia island

A wave of mud swept down the hill in the small town of Casamicciola Terme in the early hours of the morning, engulfing at least one house and sweeping cars down to the sea, media reports and emergency services said.

Earlier, news reports said 13 people had been reported missing, although there was no official confirmation. It said help was being sent from Naples, the nearest major city, but weather conditions were making it difficult to access the island.

Shout climate change

So sad, such a beautiful place. Praying for you all.

Ischia is my favourite place in all of Italy. This is so sad! Thinking of all those affected! 😔
