A brutal heatwave in Cyprus has claimed another life, with health officials warning of a surge in heat-related emergencies. The island nation, baking under relentless temperatures, reported a 67-year-old woman’s death from heatstroke on Sunday, while three other women fight for recovery in a Nicosia hospital.
Authorities are sounding the alarm as younger victims—including a 25-year-old—are now among those hospitalized. \"This heatwave is unlike anything we’ve seen,\" a health services spokesperson said, urging residents to avoid midday sun and stay hydrated. The crisis hit a grim note last week when a young commando conscript collapsed during training and was airlifted to France for emergency care.
With schools closing and military drills paused, experts liken the situation to a real-life 'Mad Max' scenario. Climate scientists warn such extremes could become the new normal. Stay safe, folks—sunscreen and shade are your BFFs this summer.
