Tunisia Heatwave Strains Electricity, Water and Health Services
Temperatures approaching 50°C have driven record power demand and disrupted essential services, exposing the country’s infrastructure vulnerability.
Tunisia is facing severe pressure on electricity, water and health services as temperatures approach 50°C during an intense heatwave.
Record demand for cooling has contributed to power interruptions, which in turn affect water pumping and other essential systems. Communities are managing extreme heat while services operate under sustained strain.
The crisis demonstrates how climate hazards can cascade through infrastructure. Building resilience will require stronger grids, protected water systems, heat-health planning and targeted support for vulnerable households.
