A massive fire in the forests of Jijel Province in eastern Algeria has resulted in the deaths of at least 73 people, with the death toll expected to rise as search efforts for the missing continue. The flames have destroyed around 80% of the region’s forest cover, consuming hundreds of hectares of trees and beehives, fueled by winds exceeding 100 kilometers per hour and temperatures nearing 50 degrees Celsius. The disaster has wiped out entire families and injured more than 54 people with varying degrees of burns. Algerian authorities have declared a three-day national mourning, while firefighting and evacuation efforts continue. Rescue teams are working to determine the causes of the fires, with some hotspots believed to be arson.
