(ANSA) - Teramo, January 19 - A baby and nine other people at
risk for hypothermia were rescued overnight Wednesday in various
small villages in the province of Teramo, where heavy snow and
freezing temperatures have knocked out power and left many
stranded without heating. The rescue came only after access
roads blocked by the snow had been cleared. The Province of
Teramo called the situation a "health emergency". "The lack of
electricity, in some cases for four days, has isolated thousands
of people buried under the snow".
