Cyprus is sizzling! 🌞 The eastern Mediterranean island is facing a tough time as a prolonged heatwave continues to hit hard. On Monday, authorities announced another tragic death due to heatstroke, highlighting the severity of the scorching temperatures.
A 67-year-old woman sadly passed away at a state hospital in Nicosia on Sunday afternoon. She wasn’t alone—the hospital is also treating three other women, aged between 25 and 80, all suffering from heatstroke. 😥
The situation is getting serious, especially for young people and kids. \"The situation has worsened in recent days due to the persisting heatwave,\" a state health services spokesman said. \"It's particularly worrying that younger individuals are among the victims.\"
Last week, things took a dramatic turn when a young commando conscript collapsed during military training. In a rush against time, medical authorities transferred him to a hospital in France for specialized care. Another conscript is being treated in Cyprus for similar symptoms. 🏥
The heatwave isn't just making people sweat—it’s becoming a real health crisis. Authorities are urging everyone to stay cool, hydrated, and indoors during peak heat hours. Remember, health comes first! 💧🏖️
