10 Belgium’s health ministry said excess mortality totalled about 1,200 between 18 and 29 11 June, with 530 of the deaths among people 85 or older. The Dutch government said the 12 heatwave had led to about 480 excess deaths, mainly of elderly people. 13 The updated French tally covers the week of 22 to 28 June, during which France 14 registered its hottest-ever days, with previous day- and night-time highs shattered in cities and 15 towns across the country. Hundreds of records also fell in other parts of Europe. 16 Public Health France said it had counted 8,973 deaths so far for that week but cautioned 17 that the number was still only partial. It said the preliminary total was 29% more than the 18 6,948 deaths registered for the previous week of 15-21 June. 19 It said the increase was concentrated almost entirely among people aged 45 and over, 20 with the over-65s worst-affected. 21 Deaths in the home recorded the biggest increase, nearly doubling within a single week, 22 and Paris was the worst-affected region; the number of deaths recorded in the capital rose by 23 62% week on week, Public Health France said in its weekly report. 24 Nicolas Revel, the director general of the Paris public hospital system, has said he expected 25 the death toll from the June heatwave to be lower than that of 2003, but “probably” higher than 26 an extreme heat episode last year that claimed 5,700 lives.
