As temperatures soar across Europe, extreme heat is becoming one of the most dangerous humanitarian challenges of our time.   "Take a moment to check in on a neighbour, a family member, or anyone you know who could be more vulnerable. That simple act can save a life." - Birgitte Bischoff Ebbesen, IFRC Regional Director for Europe   Across Europe, Red Cross volunteers are distributing water, opening cooling spaces, making welfare calls, and reaching people most at risk from extreme heat.   "Extreme heat is now one of the defining humanitarian challenges of our time, a major public health risk that demands action from people, institutions, and governments alike." - Mary Friel, IFRC Climate Policy Senior Officer   As this heatwave intensifies, stay informed, follow local guidance, and check on those who may need support. https://lnkd.in/ey8NavEJ
