Tunisian Fires Destroy Over 238 Hectares
Over the past ten days, Tunisia has experienced a severe heatwave that has led to widespread wildfires in forests and mountainous areas, especially in the north and northwest. This was exacerbated by a record high in temperatures and the dry "Shihili" winds, which contributed to the rapid spread of the flames. So far, the fires have consumed more than 238 hectares of forested land. The country has not reported any confirmed deaths or injuries, though homes, livestock, and grasses have been affected. Authorities have managed to bring the largest hotspots under control, but firefighting teams continue cooling and monitoring operations in various areas amidst ongoing high temperatures and the threat of fires reigniting.
