Dr. Salma Younes, Professor of Emergency Medicine at Farhat Hached Hospital in Sousse, warns of the increasing cases of heatstroke during the summer amid temperatures exceeding 40°C. Such heat levels can cause behavioral disturbances and loss of consciousness, especially among the elderly, children, and athletes. She advises avoiding going out between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., using protective measures like hats and umbrellas, drinking sufficient amounts of water, and safeguarding children from direct sun exposure. It is also crucial to prevent leaving children inside cars to avoid fatalities.
