کشورهای خاورمیانه در چند دهه گذشته گرمایی به این شدت به خود ندیده بودند. گرمای جولای و اوت 2015 درحالی مردم خاورمیانه را کلافه کرده که کار برخی از آنها مانند عراقی ها را به تظاهرات در خیابان نیز کشانده است. هزاران عراقی در چند روز گذشته در بغداد دست به تظاهرات زدند و به قطع مکرر آب و برق در شهرهای مختلف این کشور اعتراض کردند.
به گزارش شفقنا افغانستان از رویترز، وضعیت در غزه از همه جا پیچیده تر است. گرما درحالی طاقت مردم به خصوص کودکان را طاق کرده که تنها نیروگاه برق این باریکه نیز به درستی کار نمی کند. برخی ها هم مثل اردنی ها مجبور شده اند با آب پاش و تانکر به روی عابران آب بپاشند تا لختی خنک شوند. عده ای نیز به سواحل زیبای بیروت پناه برده اند. تصاویر رویترز از موج گرما در خاورمیانه را در ادامه مشاهده می کنید.
