Deaths in Ukraine and Poland reported to freezing European weather
January 31, 2012 – EUROPE – At least 58 people have died in Ukraine and 10 in Poland after heavy snow fall and a drop in temperatures across much of central and Eastern Europe. Three deaths were also reported in Serbia and one in Bulgaria.
Many of the dead were homeless people, whose bodies were discovered on the streets, Ukraine’s Emergency Situations Ministry said. Poland had been having a relatively mild winter, until temperatures dropped last Friday from just below freezing to -26C (-15F). Malgorzata Wozniak of Poland’s interior ministry told the Associated Press that elderly people and the homeless were among the dead.
Polish forecasters have warned that temperatures could fall further during the week, to below -20C during the day and -30C at night. In Serbia, police reported that the snowy conditions had led to the deaths of a woman and two elderly men.
Two other men, in their 70s, are believed to be missing in the south of the country. The freezing conditions also claimed a life in neighboring Bulgaria. Emergency shelters offering food and heat are being set up in the Bulgarian capital Sofia and the Czech capital Prague, reports say.
