South Sudan’s government has ordered an indefinite closure of all schools because of a heat wave that could see temperatures rise to as high as 45C (113F). | |
Health and education authorities also urged parents to stop their children from playing outdoors for prolonged periods, saying the heatwave could last for two weeks. | |
"There are already cases of death related to excessive heat being reported," authorities said in a statement on Saturday. | |
They said that the country was experiencing “extended periods of high day and night-time | |
temperatures that create cumulative physiological stress on the human body”. | |
Any school found open from Monday would have its registration withdrawn, the authorities warned. | |
Last | |
week, at least 15 children were reported to have died of meningitis and other | |
heat-related illnesses, according to the health ministry. | |
