Spanish Heatwave Claims Over 1,000

[hatrack]

From iafrica.com

"Probably well over one thousand people have died in Spain as a result of the heatwave that gripped Europe in recent weeks, La Vanguardia newspaper said on Tuesday.

EDIT

The exact number of heatwave deaths nationwide remains unclear because statistics are compiled separately by regional authorities, rather than by central government.

EDIT

Authorities in the southern region of Andalucia, where the temperature rose to 47 Celsius (114 Fahrenheit) during the heatwive, said 454 people had died there in the first fortnight of August, up 56 percent on last year's figure for the period of 250.

2. Thanks for the info. CNN only reports the deaths in France so it's

nice to have 'Fair and Balanced' reporting on the DU.
