Europe faces scorching heat with 1,300 deaths
The World Health Organization announced that more than 1,300 people have died in Europe since June 21 due to a severe heatwave, with record temperatures reaching 41.7°C in Germany. It confirmed that tens of millions are affected by heat exceeding 35°C, and that the heatwave is causing school closures and putting pressure on electricity grids, along with rising death tolls and warnings that healthcare capacities may be overwhelmed. The organization links the increased frequency of heatwaves to climate change and calls on countries to implement health plans to address these conditions.
