Algeria Fires Cause Six Deaths
Algeria has been experiencing a widespread wave of fires in the northern and eastern regions for more than ten days. Since July 8, there have been over 1,550 fires, including 383 in forests. The fires have resulted in the death of six people and injuries to several others. The blazes are concentrated in hard-to-reach areas, especially in Bejaia Province, destroying hundreds of homes, damaging orchards and farms, and causing the death of livestock. Efforts to combat the fires are hampered by a limited aerial fleet, relying on rented planes and helicopters, with weak capacities for simultaneous interventions due to the lack of an adequate civil and military fleet. This crisis leads to high human, environmental, and economic costs, with the phenomenon recurring annually despite some improvement in recent years.
