France: Drowning deaths climb amid record-breaking heatwave • FRANCE 24 English

France's prolonged heatwave has now claimed the life of a fourth child, while the overall death toll continues to rise. In Paris, an adult man was found unresponsive in the Canal Saint-Martin after reportedly swimming outside the designated area. As Europe's most severe heatwave on record continues, hospitals are admitting growing numbers of patients and emergency departments remain under intense pressure. According to Professor emeritus at the Catholic University of Louvain-la-Neuve, Jean-Pascal van Ypersele, unless global CO₂ emissions are significantly reduced, future heatwaves are likely to become even more extreme. #France #heatwave #Hospitals 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
