France is affected by an extreme heatwave, with temperatures reaching 41°C, which has prompted authorities to declare a red alert in 72 departments. Last night, emergency services responded to dozens of serious cases, including cardiac arrests, and doctors report a 40% increase in calls to the emergency service. The pressure on the medical system is enormous, with increased activity in hospitals and cases of dehydration. Suspected heat-related deaths have been reported in several regions, including Angers and Rennes. Additionally, regional train services have been suspended, and approximately 13,500 schools are either closed or operating on adjusted schedules. Three nuclear reactors have been temporarily shut down for safety reasons, and the ORSAN health plan has been activated to the maximum. Authorities warn of increased mortality risks among the population.
