CASTEL BOLOGNESE, Italy (AP) Exceptional rains Wednesday in a drought-struck region of northern Italy swelled rivers over their banks, killing at least eight people, forcing the evacuation of thousands and prompting officials to warn that Italy needs a national plan to combat climate change-induced flooding.
Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni issued a statement, making emergency funds available immediately and expressing her thanks to rescue workers "who risk their own lives to save those of others".
