Algeria Declares National Mourning Over Wildfire Tragedy

Algeria has declared a three-day national mourning period after wildfires in northeastern regions resulted in at least 12 deaths and dozens of injuries from burns. The fires caused widespread damage to forested and agricultural areas, with some still burning despite firefighting efforts. Authorities faced difficulties in controlling the flames, which expanded due to climate change, drought conditions, and extreme heat. Reports indicate that the country experienced around two thousand fires in July 2023, amid calls to improve fire management systems and to curb rumors that stir chaos.
