Fires in Tunisia and Algeria amid concerns

The article discusses the efforts of firefighting and rescue teams in Algeria and Tunisia to contain a widespread wave of fires that has caused significant damage to forests, amid suspicions of human intervention in igniting some of the blazes. In Algeria, civil protection services reported 138 fires over a 24-hour period, with four individuals detained on suspicion of involvement. Meanwhile, efforts to extinguish the fires in Tunisia continue, especially in Bizerte forests, amid pressure on the electricity grid and calls for energy conservation. The report highlights that human activity is responsible for approximately 95% of the fires, whether through unintended or deliberate actions. It also notes that limited resources and weak awareness programs hinder efforts to control these fires, with warnings that the phenomenon is likely to worsen as temperatures continue to rise and forest dampness declines.
