Sources indicated today, Saturday, that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is expected to leave the G7 summit in Hiroshima a day earlier than planned to lead efforts to tackle the flooding that inundated northern Italy last week. Earlier today, Meloni thanked the G7 leaders and all other country leaders who expressed solidarity with Italy and those affected by the floods. She tweeted: "Your closeness is a tangible sign of our cohesion in difficult times. Thank you."
Heavy rains devastated the eastern side of the Italian region of Emilia Romagna, resulting in the deaths of 14 people and causing billions of euros in damages, significantly impacting the agricultural sector.
