Wildfires took their homes and villages.

Wildfires took their homes and villages. Now, Algerians are showing up for each other. 154 devastating wildfires tore through northeastern Algeria, evacuating whole villages and causing 12 confirmed deaths. The total death toll is still not known and is expected to rise significantly. NAWARA BOUHANACH Wildfire victim I have nothing left. I have only myself left. No home, no village, nothing. Only these clothes on my back. In response, Algerian volunteers organized solidarity convoys to help survivors - many of whom have lost everything. Some sent food, drinking water, blankets and even mattresses. FARIDA BRIBER Volunteer Here in this center, we are collecting all kinds of aid and relief supplies. We are doing everything we can to distribute this assistance. Across the entire municipality - reaching every village and all affected areas. Even residents in the town center. Because the municipality is completely burnt, the fires left nothing standing. All families have been devastated and are in desperate need of aid, all of them. Algeria is heating faster than the global average. This year's seasonal fires were worsened by intense heat and winds. The president wants to reinstate the death penalty for anyone involved in worsening or starting the fires. Algeria's fires have received less attention or international help compared to other parts of the Mediterranean - like Italy, Spain and France.
