Statements from the President of the Tunisian Organization of Young Doctors confirmed that there are between 150 and 200 deaths due to heatstroke during the current heatwave in Tunisia, based on field data collected by doctors from hospitals and in the field. However, the Ministry of Health has not yet issued any official figures to verify these estimates. The deaths include cases in emergency departments and patients admitted to hospitals after suffering health complications related to heat exhaustion, with the health situation worsening due to power outages that have increased difficulties. The absence of official data from the Ministry of Health is a source of concern, prompting the organization's president to call for declaring a state of health emergency to enhance communication and provide accurate figures to the citizens.
