On July 15, twelve people with disabilities living in a group home drowned in floods in Sinzig, Germany, because they did not manage to evacuate in time.
This is not the first time people with disabilities in group homes died during a climate change calamity. In 2017 12 older people in a Florida nursing home suffocated due to high temperatures after Hurricane Irma, a tropical cyclone exacerbated by climate change, knocked out their air conditioning. In July 2020 65 people in a nursing home in Kuma, Japan, were not evacuated during a flood. Fourteen of them died.
