India Endures Record-Breaking Heatwave with Unprecedented Temperatures

Delhi residents are struggling to cope with record-breaking heat, with temperatures reaching up to 49C (120F). Chronic water shortages and frequent power outages have exacerbated the situation, making life unbearable for many, especially the poor who cannot afford air conditioning. The Delhi government has set up a heatwave "war room" to dispatch water tankers, but the demand far exceeds supply. The extreme heat has led to increased health risks and even fatalities, highlighting the severe impact of the climate crisis on the city.
