At least 10 people killed after heavy rains and floods hit central Italy

Hundreds of people who were stranded and caught up in the floods were rescued by firefighters offering lifeboats and assistance.

The officials said that around 400mm of rain were recorded in just a few hours.

Rescuers are still searching for four others, including an eight-year-old girl who was separated when the River Misa burst its banks. (ILKHA)
