As extreme temperatures soar above 40 degrees Celsius across France, authorities confirm multiple fatalities, including two children trapped in a parked car and ten individuals who drowned over the weekend. <\/p>\n
On Monday, June 22, two children aged two and four died after being found in a car in a parking lot in Carpentras, southern France. While the investigation into the cause of death is ongoing, the local prosecutor has identified the heatwave as the primary factor.<\/p>\n
Jerome Boulanger, spokesperson for the Civil Protection and Crisis Management Directorate, reported that ten people drowned across the country on Sunday. Two of those deaths occurred in the Ile-de-France region after 9:00 PM. Officials are urging the public to swim only in supervised areas and emphasize that children must be under constant adult supervision.<\/p>\n
France is experiencing a historic heatwave, with the highest “red” alert currently in force across 49 departments. When including areas under “orange” alerts, approximately 90 percent of the French population is facing extreme temperatures this week. Records are falling, with temperatures hitting 43 degrees in Bordeaux and 41 in Limoges.<\/p>\n
The heat is forcing widespread closures and service interruptions. Over 1,300 schools have been closed, and thousands more have modified their operating hours. In the Paris region, suburban train services face cancellations, as tracks struggle to withstand temperatures exceeding 50 degrees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
