  • Human-Induced climate change alongside a 24.7 percent shortfall in average rainfall contributed to the intense drought and increasing temperatures.
  • Authorities issue colour-coded weather alerts via media and civil defence, while experts emphasize electricity access for information and cooling in rural areas.
  • Mohammed Esmaili said a specialized medical kit reduced mortality from scorpion or snake bites from 7.2 percent in 2013 to 1.2 percent.
  • The intensified heatwaves and ongoing drought highlight urgent needs for better infrastructure and risk communication to protect vulnerable populations.
