France heatwave overwhelms hospitals and forces Pride march delay

A severe heatwave in France has strained the nation's healthcare system, leading to dangerously overcrowded hospitals in Paris, especially at one of the city's largest medical facilities. Authorities have taken unprecedented steps like restricting public alcohol consumption to manage the crisis. The annual Pride march had to be postponed as a result of the extreme weather conditions. This situation underscores the urgent need for better climate adaptation measures, with €130 million pledged to help schools make necessary adjustments to cope with rising temperatures.
