Rescue workers on Monday continued
the search for five people who are missing after Saturday's
landslide on the Gulf of Naples island of Ischia, which killed
at least seven people.
A newborn baby and two other children are among the confirmed
victims of the disaster.
Four people are injured and 230 are homeless after a massive
avalanche of mud and debris hit the town of Casamicciola Terme
following intense rain.
On Sunday Premier Giorgia Meloni's cabinet declared a state of
emergency on the island and approved an initial allocation of
two millions in funding to address the aftermath of the
landslide.
Ischia's schools will remain closed on Monday and Tuesday.
