With the severe coldness and amount of snow, this cold front in Europe has killed at least 48 people across central and eastern Europe. Officials in charge have responded to this by opening shelters to the people to dispense hot tea, and for a warm place to stay for the homeless and elderly. Ukrainian authorities have announced that each day this cold front continues, more and more people are still dying each day due to hypothermia. The Emergency Situations Ministry have also reported that most people found dead were found frozen in the streets. As the temperatures have dropped to -10 degrees Fahrenheit and lower, many schools have closed for the time being as authorities continue to set up hundreds of heated tents for the homeless, elderly, and public. Officials strongly recommend for people to stay indoors.
