Moroccan Forest Fires Reach 310 Cases
The National Water and Forest Agency reported that from the beginning of the year until July 20, 2026, a total of 310 wildfires have been recorded nationwide, resulting in a total burned area of 1,850 hectares, averaging approximately 5.9 hectares per fire. Although the number of fires has increased by 32% compared to the previous decade, rising from 233 to 310 fires, the burned areas have decreased by 30%, from 2,660 to 1,850 hectares. This reflects the effectiveness of the intervention and prevention systems implemented by relevant authorities, such as the Ministry of Interior, the National Water and Forest Agency, civil protection teams, and the armed forces. The rise in the number of fires is partly due to the dense growth of grass cover resulting from exceptional winter rains, as well as elevated temperatures at the end of May and in July, which increased the flammability of plants.
