Belgium

Belgium is grappling with the aftermath of a severe fire in the Schaarbeek municipality of Brussels, which tragically claimed two lives and left eight others injured. Fire officials have described the human toll as 'particularly heavy', with investigations into the cause of the blaze underway.

Adding to the national concerns, an unprecedented period of heat is anticipated next week, with a new heatwave expected to bring prolonged high temperatures across the country. Meanwhile, a significant financial issue is looming over Belgium, with an estimated 2 to 3 billion euros potentially impacting the nation from the European Union.

Internationally, Belgian media is closely following developments regarding widespread wildfires in France and Spain, as well as the ongoing investigation into a vehicle attack at the Berlin Pride event.
