Tunisia: Heat and outages cause deaths
The intense heatwave, combined with frequent power outages, is threatening public health in Tunisia. It has led to the deterioration of the condition of patients relying on home oxygen devices and an increase in heatstroke cases, amid a lack of a clear emergency plan and preventive measures. Weak cooling systems and a shortage of refrigeration in hospitals have prompted rescue teams to intervene and transport critical cases. Additionally, fatalities have been recorded due to harsh weather conditions, amid criticism from health officials regarding the absence of effective crisis management and calls for the resignation of the Minister of Health.
