WARSAW: Polish police said Friday 49 people have died from the cold since the beginning of December as temperatures in Poland plunged to minus 10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit).
Most of the deaths from the freezing temperatures have been among the homeless, said police who have begun informing them of where they can find hot meals and shelter.
Poland's first cold wave this season in October left 15 people dead and five more died in November. Last winter around 200 people died of hypothermia. (AFP)
