Skepticism on Germany heatwave death toll

According to estimates from the Robert Koch Institute, the heatwave in Germany from April to August 2026 resulted in approximately 12,500 heat-related deaths, with the highest number occurring during the week of June 22 to 28, totaling around 9,600 deaths. Experts confirm that the official figures are lower than the actual number, as not all heat-related deaths are recorded, especially among vulnerable elderly populations. The experts condemned the government's failure to implement a strong national plan for heat protection, emphasizing the importance of enhancing community assistance and psychological support to prevent deaths caused by heatwaves.
