Algerian fires death toll in question
Reports from the Algerian opposition have called for higher figures than the official numbers regarding the widespread fires that have ravaged northern and eastern Algeria. Unofficial sources indicate that dozens of people have been killed, compared to the 12 deaths announced by the authorities. Additionally, there have been reports of further fatalities not included in the official tally. Non-governmental sources estimate that hundreds of thousands have been injured or affected, raising doubts about the accuracy of the official counts and fears of a cover-up regarding the true scale of the disaster. The fires have expanded to cover areas of the Kabylie mountains, a region with sensitive political implications, amid ongoing debates over whether the authorities are complicit in hiding the real extent of the human losses.
