Cold Weather Causes Deaths In Eastern Europe
5 January 2008
Sofia - At least six people in Bulgaria have died as a result of heavy
snow, and a state of emergency has been declared in the country's
northeastern region.
The temperature has dropped to minus 26 degrees Celsius in Knescha, and
in some places the snow is three metres thick, making many roads
impassable. A 46-year-old woman is missing after attempting to reach her
village on foot.
In Russia, the severe cold is causing problems for often outdated
heating systems. In one village in Yakutia province in Siberia, the
emergency services had to be called after a communal heating system
failed, leaving 175 people in the freezing cold. The temperature in
Artyk in Siberia has fallen to minus 54 degrees Celsius over the last
few days.
In Moscow, three people have died over the last 24 hours because of the
freezing conditions. This brings the capital's death toll from the cold
this winter to 67.
