At least 12 people died in Sicily in flood-related incidents.

The country has been battered by heavy rain and high winds since last week, causing dangerous landslides and flooding. CNN reports the damage has surpassed $1.14 billion in the Veneto region alone.

Al Jazeera reports at least six regions are still on high alert.

Italy's President Sergio Mattarella called the weather devastating. He said soldiers are helping with the search and rescue operation.
