9 Dead in Argentina Amid Record-Breaking Cold Snap

Israa Farhan Argentina is enduring an unprecedented cold wave, with temperatures plunging to historic lows and claiming the lives of at least nine people in recent days, according to a humanitarian group supporting the homeless. The country has experienced a sharp and prolonged drop in temperatures since early July, with the National Meteorological Service confirming a new 34-year low of minus 1.9 degrees Celsius in Buenos Aires earlier this week. The situation was even more severe in surrounding areas, with El Palomar recording minus 7.4 degrees—the coldest in 58 years and the second-lowest since 1935. Unseasonal snowfall blanketed beaches such as Miramar, located 450 kilometers from the capital, in a rare phenomenon not seen for over a decade. In Patagonia's Makinchao, a town of just 3,000 people, some 1,400 kilometers south of Buenos Aires, recent temperatures have ranged between minus 12 and minus 18 degrees. Although severe, they remain below the town's all-time record low of minus 35 degrees set in 1991. The non-governmental organization Proyecto 7, which focuses on aiding Argentina's growing homeless population, reported that nine individuals have died due to exposure since the beginning of the winter season. The exact toll has not been confirmed by official sources, as comprehensive national data is currently unavailable. The bitter cold has amplified the country's ongoing humanitarian challenges, especially among vulnerable communities without access to shelter or heating. As temperatures continue to plummet, experts are urging increased government intervention and community support to prevent further casualties. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
