Two more men and two women are missing in the areas of Prato Sornico and Fontana. Three deaths have been confirmed so far.
Vallemaggia, in Canton Ticino, has been hit hard by a violent wave of bad weather that has left deep scars in the territory and among the population. While rescue and reconstruction operations continue, a dramatic picture emerges: four more people are still missing, in addition to the one already missing and the three deaths confirmed in recent days.
According to the Cantonal Police on the evening of Monday, July 1, the missing persons reports concern two women and two men, all from the areas of Prato Sornico and Fontana. The rescue teams, coordinated by the Regional Conduct Staff, are continuing their searches incessantly both with technical means and through field searches.
The intensity of the bad weather has caused an unprecedented emergency situation. The police, rescuers and volunteers are working day and night to find the missing and restore a minimum of normality in the affected areas. Local authorities have launched appeals to the population to provide any useful information that can facilitate the search operations.
The devastation caused by torrential rains and landslides has cut off communications and made many areas inaccessible, further complicating the work of rescuers. The local community is shocked, but also united in the hope of finding their fellow citizens.
Rescue operations will continue without interruption, with the help of advanced technologies and the support of specialized teams. The primary objective remains to find the missing people and ensure the safety of all residents. Authorities promise constant updates and continue to coordinate efforts to deal with this natural disaster.
