France is braced for a fourth heat wave this summer as it faces its worst drought.
The Daily Sabah on Monday reports that Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne's office has set up a crisis team to tackle a drought that has forced scores of villages to rely on water deliveries by truck.
National weather agency Meteo France said it was the worst drought since records began in 1958 and that the drought was expected to worsen until at least the middle of the month.
It added that on average, less than one centimetre of rain fell across France in July.
Meanwhile, a shortage of fodder because of the drought meant there could be a shortage of milk in the months ahead, the National Federation of Farmers' Unions said.
