Siliana forest fire evacuees counted
Siliyana Governorate in Tunisia has witnessed widespread wildfires since the day before yesterday, resulting in the evacuation of over 100 people and causing 18 others to suffer panic attacks. The flames have destroyed homes, damaged fruit trees, and harmed wildlife, with explosions heard that are believed to be caused by landmines from World War II. Authorities continue efforts to extinguish the fires, aided by military helicopters, amid a record increase in the number of fires and affected areas during the summer of 2026. Since June, more than 13,000 fires have been put out, and over 14,000 hectares of forest have been impacted.
