Extreme Heat Threatens Camel Survival in Deserts

Camels, known for their ability to survive in harsh desert conditions, are now struggling as temperatures rise due to climate change.

In places like North Africa and the Middle East, temperatures often exceed 50°C, which is too hot even for camels.

This extreme heat causes them to get sick, dehydrated, and sometimes die.

Herders like Ali Umer from Ethiopia are losing their camels, which are very important for transporting goods and supporting their livelihoods.

Experts say camels can usually handle temperatures around 40°C, but the new extreme heat is making it hard for them to cope.

This is a big problem because camels are essential for many communities in these regions.
