Egypt's intense heatwave strains workers and disrupts economy

Egypt is experiencing an intense heatwave that is affecting both daily life and the economy. Residents are adjusting their routines to cope with extreme temperatures, which have exceeded 45 degrees Celsius in some areas. Workers in sectors like construction are facing difficult conditions, leading to changes in work schedules and additional safety measures. The heatwave is impacting the tourism sector, particularly at open-air archaeological sites, and is also affecting agricultural production by reducing crop yields. This has led to rising food prices and inflation, disproportionately affecting low-income individuals. To mitigate these effects, the government has implemented measures such as reducing outdoor working hours and increasing investments in renewable energy.
