After two devastating weekends of storms, first in the southern Graubünden valley of Misox and then in Valais and Ticino, the results are shocking: eight people died in total and six were still missing on Wednesday.

A man remained missing in Misox, while a woman who had previously been reported missing was rescued alive from the masses of rubble over the weekend, according to the cantonal authorities of Graubünden.

In Valais, a man died in Saas-Grund and one person was still missing in the Binn region. And in Ticino, a fifth fatality was only recovered in the Maggia Valley on Wednesday; four other people are still missing.
