Bodies Sent 80KM Away As Paris Mortuaries Fill During France Heatwave | 9,000+ Dead So Far | VERTEX

France's record heatwave has overwhelmed Paris's mortuary system as preliminary figures indicate nearly 9,000 deaths between June 22 and June 28, around 2,025 above seasonal expectations. Officials caution the toll is incomplete because electronic death certificates cover only about 60 percent of the country. Mortuaries have run out of space, forcing bodies to be transported up to 80 kilometres from Paris while temporary storage units struggle to meet demand. Most victims were elderly, many living alone. Funeral directors warn France has forgotten the lessons of the deadly 2003 heatwave, as forecasters predict another extreme heat event could arrive next week. #france #heatwave #paris #globalwarming #climatecrisis #europe #climatechange _______________________________ Welcome to VERTEX – Your Hub for Global Politics, Geopolitics & International News VERTEX brings you in-depth analysis, breaking updates, and expert insights on the world’s most critical political and geopolitical developments.
