## Resource

A deadly heatwave hit the country, pushing death tolls 480 above expectations — mostly among the elderly — with the worst impacts in eastern and southern regions. Normally, around 3,500 deaths are expected weekly, but this week surged to 3,530. The RIVM’s preliminary data, still subject to revision, confirms the extreme conditions: tropical nights, high humidity, and the first-ever “code red” heat warning. Vulnerable groups — seniors, those with chronic illness, overweight individuals, and even babies — face heightened risks. Thankfully, heat-related fatalities have declined since 2010, thanks to improved awareness and preparedness.
