Italian President Giorgia Meloni has reiterated the government’s condolences following a tragedy in Switzerland, while coordinating rescue efforts with Swiss authorities. The incident has left 13 Italian citizens injured and six missing; the number of fatalities remains unknown. Emergency response included civil‑protection helicopters from the Valle d’Aosta region and mountain‑rescue personnel, and the activation of the remote CROSS health‑rescue centre to transport victims to Italy. Three patients were transferred to Milan’s Niguarda hospital yesterday, a fourth today, with three more scheduled for the same day and additional transfers planned over the coming days. Overnight teams from the Civil Protection Department, Piedmont Region, Lombardy medical specialists for severe burns, and psychologists were dispatched to Switzerland. A national mobilisation order for civil protection services was declared today.
