The scorching heat has brought a record influx of patients to the emergency room of the Shkodra Regional Hospital, where in the last 24 hours alone, around 200 people have presented with health problems from high temperatures - a figure that was usually recorded only at the peak of August.

Doctors are concerned that the number of patients is increasing, not just the elderly, but also the young. Meanwhile, the summer health center in Velipojë is also reporting a significant increase in cases, which is related to the higher number of vacationers this summer. The white shirts appeal for special care from the heat, especially for children, the elderly and people with chronic diseases.
