Sicily landslide carves cliff, displacing over 1,500 residents

A 4-km landslide in Niscemi, Sicily, triggered by Cyclone Harry, toppled homes and left many perched on a newly formed cliff, triggering evacuations of more than 1,500 people and a 150-meter no-go zone. Ground remains water-soaked and unstable, necessitating long-term relocation for residents. Italy declared a state of emergency for three southern regions and set aside 100 million euros, with Sicily facing about 2 billion euros in damage. Prime Minister Meloni toured the area, pledging immediate aid and recovery efforts while officials determine intervention methods as the landslide continues. The event recalls a 1997 slide and has intensified political debate over development on high-risk land.
