6 killed as forest fires sweep parts of Algeria



Tuesday July 21, 2026- At least six people have been killed as powerful forest fires swept through parts of Algeria, forcing emergency teams to battle widespread flames amid rising concerns over safety and damage. 

Authorities have mobilised firefighting crews to contain the blazes as communities face the urgent threat of further destruction.


The fires have affected several areas, with extreme heat, dry conditions, and strong winds making containment efforts more difficult.
