Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Official reports show that the unprecedented heat wave that swept across European countries from June 20 to 28 has killed more than 10,000 people, making it one of the deadliest heat waves ever recorded on the continent.
According to Al Jazeera, experts have described this heat wave as the most severe heat event ever recorded in Europe; a phenomenon that, in addition to increasing the number of victims, has disrupted electricity production, damaged infrastructure, and put additional pressure on the healthcare systems of European countries.
Meanwhile, France is also facing a continuing rise in temperatures. Authorities issued weather warnings for more than a third of the country on Sunday, warning of the possibility of more wildfires in the coming days.
The number of people under a red alert, the highest level of alert issued by the French Meteorological Service, has reportedly reached 26 million, raising concerns about the human and environmental consequences of the heatwave.
Experts predict that the third severe heatwave to hit France in the past two months will continue until at least the middle of next week. Continuing conditions could further exacerbate the risk of wildfires, strain the energy grid and increase health problems for vulnerable groups, especially the elderly and the sick.
