Storm Boris has caused severe flooding in Italy, particularly in the north-eastern Emilia Romagna and central Marche regions, following its destruction across central Europe. Over 1,000 people have been evacuated, with two reported missing. Towns like Faenza have faced rising river levels, landslides, and sewage overflows. Schools, libraries, and parks were closed, and transport disrupted. The European Commission announced €10bn in aid for affected countries. Storm Boris previously hit Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, and Austria, causing 23 deaths. Weather alerts remain in effect as the region prepares for ongoing flood risks.
