France faces funeral service strain amid heat casualties
France recorded a significant increase in deaths during the heatwave, with the Public Health Authority reporting 1,000 more fatalities than usual from Wednesday to Sunday. Temperatures continue to rise, and forecasts indicate they will return to high levels next week. Funeral undertakers, like Azouhir Hertili from Orly, are under intense pressure due to the flooded mortuary refrigerators and the rising death toll, leading to delays in burials and cremations, as well as requests for permits to increase cold storage capacity.
