the country&#8217;s record-breaking heatwave.<\/p>\n<p>Belgium saw a 39% increase in mortality, amounting to 1,222 additional deaths, between 18 June and 29 June. Belgian authorities said this represents the highest daily death toll in the country since the first wave of the coronavirus. <\/p>\n<p>The Netherlands recorded around 480 additional deaths in the week of 22\u201328 June, with the highest impact among those aged 80 and older, coinciding with record temperatures approaching 40\u00b0C. <\/p>\n<p>Spain&#8217;s Carlos III Health Institute reported at least 1,028 heat-related deaths, more than double the 407 recorded in June 2025. <\/p>\n<p>Authorities stress that the figures remain preliminary. France\u2019s national public health agency, Sant\u00e9 publique France, has warned the true death toll is \u201cprobably an underestimate\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>As soaring temperatures are expected to return, governments are now under pressure to respond.<\/p>\n<p>Belgium\u2019s Health Minister Frank Vandenbroucke tasked the country&#8217;s Risk Management Group to draft recommendations by early next week to strengthen preparedness, the Brussels Times reported.<\/p>\n<p>France&#8217;s opposition politicians, in the meantime, criticised the government&#8217;s response to extreme heat. On Thursday, the Greens filed a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister S\u00e9bastien Lecornu&#8217;s government, arguing it had failed to adequately prepare the country for rising

heatwave is just a \u2018dress rehearsal,\u2019 WHO warns<br \/>\n  <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"articleBody\" data-key=\"articleBody\">A late-June heatwave that pushed temperatures across parts of Europe to record highs is believed to have caused more than 4,000 excess deaths across several Western European countries, according to preliminary national figures.France recorded 2,025 additional deaths \u2014 a nearly 30% increase \u2014 during the week beginning 22 June, at the peak of the country&#8217;s record-breaking heatwave.Belgium saw a 39% increase in mortality, amounting to 1,222 additional deaths, between 18 June and 29 June. Belgian authorities said this represents the highest daily death toll in the country since the first wave of the coronavirus.\u00a0\u00a0The Netherlands recorded around 480 additional deaths in the week of 22\u201328 June, with the highest impact among those aged 80 and older, coinciding with record temperatures approaching 40\u00b0C.\u00a0Spain&#8217;s Carlos III Health Institute reported at least 1,028 heat-related deaths, more than double the 407 recorded in June 2025.\u00a0\u00a0Authorities stress that the figures remain preliminary. France\u2019s national public health agency, Sant\u00e9 publique France, has warned the true death toll is \u201cprobably an underestimate\u201d.As soaring temperatures are expected to return, governments are now under pressure to respond.Belgium\u2019s Health Minister Frank Vandenbroucke tasked the country&#8217;s Risk Management Group to draft recommendations by early next week to strengthen preparedness, the Brussels Times reported.France&#8217;s opposition politicians, in the meantime, criticised the government&#8217;s response to extreme heat. On Thursday, the Greens filed a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister S\u00e9bastien Lecornu&#8217;s government, arguing it had failed to adequately prepare the country for rising temperatures.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/health\/2026\/07\/03\/heatwave-leaves-europe-with-thousands-of-excess-deaths&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/79\/55\/18\/1200x675_cmsv2_dc23be9c-beb6-508c-a549-48e1aeb589d8-9795518.jpg&#8221;] Venezuela Venezuela&#8217;s interim leader defends earthquake response Earth News Trump wins legal battle to erase national park climate change signs No Comment Dogs don Argentina shirts as World Cup fever grips Buenos Aires Top News Stories Today Latest news bulletin | July 3rd, 2026 \u2013 Midday Venezuela Venezuela&#8217;s interim leader defends earthquake [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2025809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2025809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2025809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2025809\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2025809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2025809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2025809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
