FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Some 1,800 people had been hospitalised, and 75,000 people had sought warmth
and food in over 3,000 shelters across Ukraine.
The bitter cold front has engulfed much of Europe and even crossed the
Mediterranean into north Africa, where as many as 16 people were killed on
Algeria’s snow-slicked roads or in other weather-related accidents.
In Rome, traffic was virtually paralysed by black ice as snow covered the city.
As residents resorted to sawing through fallen trees blocking the roads, many
people said they had had no assistance from the authorities.
“It’s awful. I had to walk two hours through freezing temperatures just
to get to the metro,” Rome resident Federico Maneski said. “The
area is full of trees that have fallen on cars but no one’s come to help us.”
The Italian death toll reached 17 when three homeless people were found dead,
while two men suffered heart attacks as they shovelled snow in the Abruzzo
region and Campania regions.
The cold claimed eight new victims in Poland, bringing that country’s toll to
53, and in Serbia, which has recorded nine deaths, authorities declared
states of emergency in 32 municipalities, mostly in the south and southwest.
Almost 70,000 people remained cut off in snowed-in Serbian villages, with
police and military units providing basic necessities, said Predrag Maric,
the police official in charge of Serbia’s emergency services.
In Romania, six new deaths brought the toll there to 34.
But there was better news in Croatia, where a woman gave birth to a girl with
the help of two neighbours after emergency services were unable to reach her
as she went into labour in a village cut off by a blizzard.
She named her daughter Snjezana – “Snow-White” in Croatian.
Overnight temperatures in Finland plummeted to minus 40 degrees Celsius (minus
40 degrees Fahrenheit), but that did not deter many Helsinki voters from
turning out to vote in a presidential election.
Motorists were warned of more arctic winds and slick roads and poor visibility
because of powdery snow.
Similar conditions led to pile-ups on Friday near Helsinki, in which more than
200 cars were involved, and about 40 people taken to hospital.
The cold spell is forecast to last until at least the middle of the week.
