Germany faces over 5,000 heatwave deaths
The article reports that the Robert Koch Institute in Germany recorded around 5,120 heat-related deaths since the beginning of the year, with a greater focus on the elderly over 75 years old, who accounted for approximately 4,270 of these fatalities. The peak of deaths occurred in late June, when weekly temperatures exceeded 20 degrees Celsius for the first time in history. Data also showed a higher number of deaths among women compared to men, due to the higher proportion of females in the older age group. This heatwave is considered one of the worst in European history, leading to disruptions in electricity networks, school closures in various regions, and affecting other European countries as well, with more than 4,700 excess deaths recorded between June 20 and 28.
