Germany reports 15,800 heat-related deaths
Germany recorded a record number of heat-related deaths this summer, totaling 15,800 cases, with a significant focus on individuals over the age of 75. Approximately 9,600 deaths occurred in just one week in late June when temperatures exceeded 40°C, and around 4,000 more cases were added between the end of July and mid-August. The environmental protection organization criticized the German government for not taking effective measures to protect against the heat, calling for legislative changes and the planting of more trees to help reduce fatalities linked to severe heatwaves.
