Palestinian Mustafa Abdo, 75-years old, repairs a fan at his shop amid a heat wave at Shati refugee camp. Multiple heat records have been shattered this summer. Last month was the hottest August ever recorded, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration records stretching back 174 years. Global sea surface temperatures were the highest for any August on record, and it was the fifth month in a row where global ocean sea surface temperatures set new highs for each respective month. The sea surface temperature anomaly, or measurement of the departure from a long-term average, for August 2023 was also the largest anomaly on record.

REUTERS/Mohammed SalemGAZA, July 30 (Reuters) - While soaring temperatures across the Middle East are causing discomfort for many, Gaza electrical appliance repairman Mustafa Abdou is enjoying a boom in business amid surging demand for electric fans. Temperatures have risen above 38 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) in Gaza and frequent power cuts have pushed more and more people to adapt their fans to work by battery. Despite being surrounded by fans, he was sweating as he spoke because his own fan couldn't work due to a power cut. More than 2.3 million people live in the Gaza Strip, the narrow strip of land squeezed between Egypt and Israel.
