The Italian Prime Minister cut short her visit to Japan, for the G7 Summit, to visit flood-stricken northern Italy. Thousands of people have been uprooted.

Giorgia Melons visited towns in Emilia-Romagna, where fierce floods claimed 14 lives, and caused damage worth billions of Euros. She stopped off in this region on her return from the Asia summit.

Scientists have reported that around 36,000 people had to be evacuated from their homes due to floods which sent rivers of mud rushing through the towns. This extreme event was made worse by climate changes.

She described meeting the people affected by this deluge as a very moving experience.

Meloni, who spoke to reporters in Ravenna – one of the worst affected areas – said: “It’s been a tragedy. But we always come back stronger from crises.”

A region that grows corn, grain, and fruit like peaches, kiwis, and apricots has been hit hard by the drought.

Rain flooded rivers in Emilia-Romagna overnight because the ground was parched from drought.

The climate is changing due to human activities like flying and driving cars. More rain falls, but it’s concentrated in fewer days, resulting in more dangerous and less useful downpours.

Antonello Pasini is a climate scientist with the National Research Council of Italy. He said that a trend was forming.

This week, it was said that “an increase in annual rainfall, for example, would be accompanied by a reduction in the number rainy days, and an increase in intensity on those rare days when rain does fall.”
