Iraq’s Energy Ministry says it’s restoring power after a power outage hit central and southern Iraq amid record heat fueled by the climate crisis. Temperatures in the capital Baghdad reached 50 degrees Celsius, or 122 degrees Fahrenheit.

Meanwhile, southern Europe is experiencing a deadly heat wave with temperatures in some areas topping 110 degrees Fahrenheit. In Italy, a 4-year-old boy died of a heatstroke. In Spain, at least one person has died from burns, while thousands more have been forced to flee fast-moving wildfires.

Evangelina Peral Delgado: “We are completely helpless and abandoned. Someone, do something for us, because we are burning. We might not be a national park, but we are people! No one does anything. No one.”
