Holland Attributes 1,000 Deaths To July Heatwave - AFP

Edited on Wed Aug-30-06 12:24 PM by hatrack

The Netherlands recorded 1,000 extra deaths during July when the country was hit by a summer heatwave, the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) said Wednesday.

In the first week of July, 200 more people were reported dead than the average figure for that period.

Very short article.
