Satellite view of Algerian forest fires
Huge wildfires broke out in eastern Algeria, particularly in the states of Jijel, Mila, Skikda, Béjaïa, and Tébessa, leading to the destruction of large areas of vegetation and the thickening of smoke columns. The fires resulted in the deaths of 12 people and injuries to 54 others with burns, spreading rapidly as satellite images from August 24 to 26 showed the flames intensifying and smoke clouds expanding. Aircraft and firefighting teams were deployed to control the blazes. These fires are part of an extraordinary heatwave sweeping North Africa and are among the most severe fires the region has seen. A national mourning and flags at half-mast have been declared in honor of the victims.
