Cold snap claims 10 more victims in Poland
Ten people have died in Poland as bitterly cold weather swept Europe, bringing the toll of hypothermia deaths in the country to 65 since November, authorities said Monday.
Temperatures have plunged to below minus 20 degrees Celsius (minus 4 Fahrenheit) in some regions.

Sunday was the deadliest day in Poland this winter for cold-related deaths. “Yesterday, 10 people died of cold,” the center for national security (RCB) said Monday.

Police have asked people to aid those risking hypothermia, especially the homeless. A cold wave across Europe has left at least 33 dead since the weekend. (AFP)
