Heatwave Deaths Go Up by 50 Per Cent in Moscow
The ministry pledged to conduct a "thorough analysis" and draw conclusions for future emergencies.
Over the same period death rates in the central Russian region of Nizhny Novgorod rose by 20.2 percent, in the Vladimir region by 18.4 percent and in the Moscow and Tula regions by 17.3 percent.
In Russia as a whole, mortality rates in July rose by 8.6 percent to 182,020, the state statistics service said.
A 45-percent spike in the number of drownings contributed to the higher death rates across the country, the health ministry said.
Officials say it may take months for the government to tally the damage from the disaster but several economists have put the cost to the economy this year at roughly 7-15 billion dollars.
Separately, several ecologists said the fires had cost Russia at least 300 billion dollars, according to estimates based on the market value of timber and the cost of reforestation.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said late last week it was too early to estimate the damages.
"These processes (related to the fires) are not over yet. It will only be possible to determine the damages only after all the works are completed."
