As Heat Waves Intensify, Morocco Ups Effort to Warn Residents

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.
