10,000 Dead In Europes Heatwave | Scientists Say Extreme Heat Left Elderly Defenceless | VERTEX [0NkBhvSpBDU]
More than 10,000 people died across Europe during the record late-June heatwave, making it one of the deadliest extreme weather events in recent years. New data released on July 13 by EuroMOMO showed that over 9,000 of the deaths were among people aged 65 and older, with scientists saying the surge cannot be explained by anything other than the extreme heat. Researchers have linked the unprecedented temperatures directly to human-driven climate change, warning that deadly heatwaves are becoming more frequent and more intense. From France and Belgium to Britain and Spain, soaring temperatures overwhelmed vulnerable populations, strained infrastructure and shattered records. Health authorities say the figures remain provisional, meaning the final death toll could rise even further. #europe #europeheatwave #france #britain #climatechange #globalwarming _______________________________ Welcome to VERTEX – Your Hub for Global Politics, Geopolitics & International News VERTEX brings you in-depth analysis, breaking updates, and expert insights on the world’s most critical political and geopolitical developments.
