Answer

Who is most at risk from heat among homeless people in Mallorca?

Older people, people with chronic illnesses, those with mental health conditions and migrants without regular healthcare access are especially exposed. Families and people taking medication can also be at higher risk because heat can worsen side effects and existing health problems. In Mallorca, the danger is not the same for everyone, which is why a one-size-fits-all response is not enough.
