King Mohammed VI gave instructions to the Ministers of Interior and Foreign Affairs to inform Algerian counterparts on Morocco’s readiness to assist Algeria in fighting the forest fires that are ravaging the country Kabyle region.
Algerian president Abdelmajid Tebboune declared today a three-day national mourning starting Thursday, temporarily freezing all government and local activities, except for solidarity campaign, as as blazes continue to unsettle the Kabyle region.
The Ministry of National Defense announced today that the death toll from the forest fires has risen to 65, including 28 soldiers and 37 civilians, most of them in the state of Tizi Ouzou, while 12 soldiers are in critical conditions.
Across the Mediterranean, climate experts are saying the troubling rate of this year’s fire season is a sign of a warming planet that is being made even hotter by the carbon emissions from the fires.
