Glacier collapse in Italy leaves at least 7 dead, 14 others missing
“I hope the numbers stop here,” said Veneto Gov. Luca Zaia, whose region in northeast Italy borders the Dolomite mountain range including the Marmolada glacier. He spoke in the resort town of Canazei, where a morgue was set up in the ice rink.
At least three of the dead were Italians, authorities said. Italian news reports said one of the deceased was from Czechia, which is more widely known in English as the Czech Republic. But what happened “'certainly depends on environmental deterioration and the climate situation,” the premier said. ”I can't say anything else other than the facts, and the facts tell us that the high temperatures don't favor these situations,“ Zaia told reporters.
