Belgium reports 3,000 excess deaths from heatwaves
Recent reports have shown that heatwaves in Belgium between June and August resulted in the deaths of 2,935 people, a 7% increase over the usual rate. The fatalities were concentrated in the southern regions and predominantly affected the elderly. The additional deaths occurred mainly in June and July, particularly among workers under the age of 85, while there was no increase recorded in August. Authorities indicate that the rise in deaths is due to the impact of heatwaves on vulnerable populations.
