Meloni in Nisemi - New Buildings After Damage from Cyclone 'Harry'

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni returned to Nisemi, Sicily, where over 2,000 residents have been evacuated from their homes due to landslides caused by Cyclone 'Harry'. Meloni announced the immediate allocation of 150 million euros for the demolition of unsafe buildings, the construction of new homes, and the protection of the area from further landslides. The measures will be approved as a legislative decree on Wednesday, while the head of Italian Civil Protection, Fabio Ciciliano, will take on the duties of a special government commissioner to implement the projects. In addition, financial aid will be provided to farmers and citizens who cannot work due to the 'red zone'.
