WHO warns of rising heatwave deaths in Europe
The World Health Organization has warned of a rise in heat-related deaths in Europe, with initial reports indicating at least 35,000 excess deaths during the first phase of this summer's heatwaves. The organization explained that the heat-related mortality rate for this summer is significantly higher, especially among the elderly, due to temperatures nearly doubling the global average. This has led to an increase in heat-related deaths over the past twenty years. Experts expect the full picture to become clearer after analyzing national data, which may take up to a year, as Europe is affected by climate change and an increase in unprecedented heatwaves, along with a rise in wildfires and droughts.
