Devastating Floods Leave Italy in Ruins: A Visual Account.

Italy's Emilia-Romagna region has been hit by the worst floods in a century, with six months' worth of rain falling in just 36 hours. The floods have destroyed homes, shops, and left over 5,000 farms underwater. The Italian government has approved over €2 billion ($2.2 billion) in aid for the flood-stricken region. Volunteers are working to clear mud and debris from affected areas.
