At least ten hikers are killed with more missing as terrifying 'avalanche of water' sweeps through Italian gorge after heavy rains

At least 10 people were killed in southern Italy on Monday when they were hurled over rocks by a raging white-water creek in a deep mountain gorge that swelled suddenly after heavy rainfall upstream, officials said.

At least another five are missing, including one believed to be a local guide.

Another 23 people were rescued from the flash flood in the Raganello Gorge, five of whom were hospitalised, including a 10-year-old boy who was being treated for hypothermia.
