Angry residents in a
flood-stricken Genoa neighbourhood near the Fereggiano river
attacked municipal police Friday, shouting insults as the
officers arrived to check water levels. Their neighbourhood in
the port city had also been hit hard by severe flooding in 2011
that killed at least six people including two children.
Officials warned that the situation around Genoa remains
critical as heavy rains continued to fall. Mayor Marco Doria
said some 262 mm of rainfall had been recorded over 12 hours.
