A severe heatwave in Western Europe has claimed over 1,000 lives, with temperatures breaking all-time records. French health officials reported that the surge in deaths began around June 24, with 85% of victims aged 65 or older. The Ile-de-France region, including Paris, has seen the highest spike in fatalities, particularly among elderly people living alone. While temperatures exceeded 40 degrees Celsius in many areas, Sunday brought some relief, though local authorities continue emergency measures like water spraying to combat the extreme heat. https://www.dharitri.com/france-records-1000-excess-deaths-during-heatwave-elderly/ #creator program
