Heatwave Health Crisis: Tunisia’s severe late-August heatwave is driving a surge in hospital admissions and deaths, with an independent young doctors group urging a “health emergency” after reporting “unprecedented” heatstroke fatalities and pressure on emergency departments, while official figures are still pending. Public Safety Alerts: Tunisia’s meteorology institute placed most regions on high alert as temperatures soar with sirocco winds, warning children, elderly people, those with chronic illnesses or on regular medication, and people living alone to avoid midday exertion and stay hydrated. Civil Protection Guidance: The National Civil Protection Office issued sunstroke prevention and first-aid advice, including moving people to shade, cooling with water or compresses, and seeking urgent medical help—especially for children and older adults. Protests Over Services: In Tunis, hundreds marched demanding President Kais Saied’s resignation, blaming extreme summer heat alongside water and electricity shortages and rising living costs. Regional Health Spillover: Algeria’s deadly wildfires (12 dead, 54 injured) are unfolding alongside the same broader heat conditions affecting Tunisia.
