Holy crap! Those poor bastards. That's awful.
Most people never experience that kind of heat and don't realize how terrible it can be. In an area where there is no A/C and often not even electricity for fans, it is deadly. If it gets close to 90 here, the old A/C comes on. Three years ago, I had a new HVAC system installed and I increased the size of the A/C compressor 25%. The hottest it has been here is 114 and I would hate to think of trying to get along - even survive - without A/C.
Of course, the Republicans will blame the heat on Allah. Must be Allah, because global warming is a hoax.
