The battle against time continues in Italy to find missing persons after the deadly floods, while the death toll grows by the hour.
Rescue crew members have located six bodies on the island of Ischia in southern Italy, which was hit yesterday by a powerful wave of bad weather.
The missing, so far, remain six. Two young children, a newborn and a six-year-old child have died in the floods and landslides.
There are 13 injured and 167 people have left their homes to be transported to safety.
Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piandozzi said that with the two million euros allocated by the government in declaring a state of emergency, "temporary houses will be set up, works will be carried out on a number of roads and food will be distributed to those affected."
Rescue teams are to continue their work tomorrow, with the help of specially trained dogs.
