SEOUL: After hundreds of young participants became sick as a result of the hot weather, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol ordered on Friday, August 4, that air-conditioned buses and waters trucks be sent to the country’s global hunter event.
According to authorities, as least 600 attendees of the World Scout Jamboree, which began on Tuesday in southwest Buan, have so far received treatment for heat-related illnesses.
The incident occurs at the same time as the government’s highest temperature warning in four decades, which was issued this week when conditions in some regions of the nation exceeded 38 degrees Celsius.
The weather was even hotter than it was in South Korea, according to one Malaysian hunter who claimed to have experienced a pain.
Spies from the United States, Britain, Belgium, Bangladesh, Colombia, Poland, and Sweden were reportedly impacted, according to local advertising.
