Severe storms have caused widespread flooding and landslides in southern Switzerland and northern Italy, resulting in the tragic deaths of at least 4 people. In Switzerland, heavy rains led to rivers overflowing, damaging roads and railways in Valais state. In Ticino, Italian-speaking Switzerland, three lives were lost to landslides in the Fontana area. Rescue operations continue, with one person missing in Lavizzara valley. Northern Italy also faced floods and thunderstorms, prompting dozens of rescues. The situation remains critical as communities in both regions cope with the aftermath of the natural disaster.
