Kamel Beljoud told state television that 24 people were killed in fires in El Tarf, near the border with Tunisia, in addition to two others who died earlier in Setif. The civil protection agency in Setif said two women, “a 58-year-old mother and her 31-year-old daughter”, were killed in the town. In Souk Ahras, further east, people were seen fleeing their homes as fires spread before firefighting helicopters were deployed. An earlier toll said four people in Souk Ahras suffered burns and another 41 had breathing difficulties, authorities said. Media reported that 350 residents were evacuated. There was no update on the number of people injured in the fires in other areas. The gendarmerie has closed several roads as a result of the fires. “Thirty-nine fires are ongoing in 14 wilayas (administrative councils),” the civil protection agency said, noting that El Tarf was the hardest hit, with 16 fires ongoing.

Since early August, 106 fires have broken out in Algeria, destroying more than 2,500 hectares (6,200 acres) of forest land. Beljud said some of the fires were started by people. Wednesday’s toll brings to 30 the total number of people killed by wildfires this summer. Algeria is Africa’s largest country, but it only has 4.1 hectares (10.1 acres) of forest. Every year the northern part of the country is hit by forest fires, a problem that has been exacerbated by the climate crisis. Last year, at least 90 people died in forest fires that ravaged northern Algeria, destroying more than 100,000 hectares of forest land.
