Heatwave: More than 1,000 deaths in just 3 days
Paris 29 June ( PDL ) : The fires raining down from the sky in Europe are now proving deadly. France's national public health agency released a very shocking report on Sunday. According to the report, nearly 1,000 additional deaths were recorded in France due to record-breaking heat during the peak of the heatwave last week.
According to the report, the most deadly effect of this terrible heat has been seen in Paris and its surrounding areas. The worst affected has been the Paris region, where elderly people living alone in their homes have died in their homes due to the heatwave.
The health agency has expressed fears that this figure could still increase, as accurate figures for deaths in residential care centers and remote homes are yet to come.
This level of heat is very dangerous for the human body. The administration has advised people not to leave their homes unnecessarily and to drink as much water as possible. After this sudden tragedy, the French government and health department have come into full action. Hospitals and emergency services have been put on high alert. Social organizations have also been instructed to reach out to the elderly living alone so that they can be saved from this disaster.
