Fleet Fights Po River Flood To Rescue Flood Victims
A growing fleet of boats battled the raging Po River to rescue thousands stranded by the flood. The waters have killed more than 100 in the past 10 days and displaced about 200,000 refugees across a 36 by 18 mile delta at Adria Cavarzere Loreo and surrounding areas. Officials said many residents ignored evacuation orders and did not know how many had been saved or remained trapped in upper stories and trees. The disaster compounds prior storms that killed 110 in Southern Italy and Sicily, marking Italy's worst flood since 1908 Messina quake.
