Heat-related Illnesses Strike 108 at World Scout Jamboree in South Korea

At least 108 attendees at the World Scout Jamboree in South Korea have been treated for heat-related illnesses, with two still in treatment. The event, which brought over 40,000 scouts to a campsite in Buan, is taking place during one of South Korea's hottest summers in years. Concerns have been raised about the lack of shade and refuge from the heat, prompting the organizing committee to add more medical staff and implement safety measures. The country has raised its hot weather warning to the highest level for the first time in four years, with at least 16 deaths reported due to heat-related illnesses.
