Italian rescuers are searching for a dozen missing people on the southern island of Ischia this morning, after a landslide killed at least one person

A wave of mud and debris swept through the small town of Casamicciola Terme early yesterday morning, engulfing at least one house and sweeping cars down to the sea, local media and emergency services said.

However, some people who had earlier been reported missing had since been found safe, including one family with a newborn baby, he said. The rescue effort was hampered by rain and high winds, which also delayed ferries bringing reinforcements from the mainland. In the worst-affected area of the town, at least 30 families were trapped in their homes without water or electricity, with mud and debris blocking the road, ANSA news agency reported.
