A nine-year-old girl was placed in
deep sedation after being critically injured in Monday's flash
flood in a Calabrian national park, medical sources said
Tuesday.
The girl was hit full on by a rain-fuelled swell of the
Raganello river in a canyon in the Pollino National Park.
She is being sedated in Rome's Policlinico Gemelli Hospital
after being moved from a Calabrian hospital.
The girl, who is being artificially ventilated, is suffering
acute respiratory insufficiency due to inhaling muddy water,
doctors said.
She is in the Gemelli IC unit.
