That makes it a treat when he steps off and into a bus stop outfitted with sprinklers that bathe overheated commuters in a cooling mist.“Everyone is suffering from the heat,” Yadav said. “I hope they do more of this across the city.”

Rising heat is a problem for millions of people in India. In Ahmedabad, temperatures this year have already reached 42 degrees Celsius (107 Fahrenheit), a level usually not seen for several more weeks, prompting city officials to advise people to stay indoors and stay hydrated.And yet, coping with that heat is a familiar challenge in Ahmedabad. After a 2010 heat wave killed more than 1,300 people, city and health officials rushed to develop South Asia’s first heat action plan.

The plan, rolled out in 2013 and now replicated across

and South Asia, includes strategies for hospitals, government officials and citizens to react immediately when temperatures rise beyond human tolerance. Public health officials said it’s helped save hundreds of lives every summer.Leavitt said Trump believes the talks are “moving along in the right direction.”

U.N. officials on Thursday said that a small number of trucks carrying flour on Wednesday were intercepted by residents and their contents were stolen.“As far as I know, this was not a criminal act with armed men,” U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said during a briefing.

He added that the episode “only reflects the very high level of anxiety that people in Gaza are feeling, not knowing when the next humanitarian delivery will take place.”Over the last several months, Israel has accused Hamas of siphoning off aid and using it to fund its military activities, without providing evidence. The U.N. has said that there are mechanisms in place that prevent any significant diversion of aid.
