Official figures indicate that more than 10,000 additional deaths occurred across European nations throughout the record-setting heatwave that hit the western part of the continent late in June. Data from the WHO-supported EuroMOMO project reveals that over 9,000 of those who passed away were aged 65 or older. A representative noted that it is hard to attribute such a significant spike in mortality to any factor other than the intense heat.
