Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has visited her country's northeastern region after floods killed at least 14 people and displaced thousands more.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni visited damaged homes in northeast Italy Sunday, after returning early from the G7 summit in Japan following floods which left 14 people dead.
Meloni, who shook hands with mud-splattered homeowners and volunteers, found speaking to those who had lost everything a "moving" experience, she told journalists in Ravenna.
"You're doing a great job," the prime minister told a resident in Ghibullo who was donating food to the newly homeless, according to a video posted by Italian broadcaster Rai.
While 36,000 people were displaced by the incessant rains in Emilia Romagna earlier this week, some 10,000 or have since been able to return home, the region said Sunday.
The extreme weather caused widespread damage and hit farmers hard in an area which grows grain and fruit. By Sunday, the rain had stopped in most places, though a red weather alert was extended to Monday.
