Read our privacy policy Over 40,000 cases of suspected heatstroke have been reported in India as gruelling temperatures continued to scorch the country this week in what is now confirmed to be its “longest heatwave ever”. Several surgeries were also postponed in the sports injury centre of the hospital due to water shortage, Hemant Rajoura, a Hindustan Times correspondent shared on X. Millions of people in Delhi have been living under extreme temperatures since April, with the country recording its longest heatwave ever this year. Many countries do not record heat as a specific cause of death but a 2021 study in The Lancet estimated that just under a half-million deaths can be attributed to excess heat every year - a conservative count that lacks data from many low-income countries.
