Algeria wildfire toll reaches 12
The Algerian authorities announced the death of 12 people as a result of fires that broke out in several states, including Jijel, Bejaia, and Tizi Ouzou, during a wave of wildfires that worsens every summer due to drought and heat caused by climate change. Crisis units have been activated, and many families have been evacuated. Civil protection teams faced difficulties in controlling the fires, some of which were deliberately set, resulting in the death of four people in Bejaia. Authorities deployed helicopters and airplanes to combat the fires, as the number of blazes increased, leading to widespread destruction of forests and agricultural land, as well as the loss of homes and lives.
