A mass funeral ceremony was held in Algeria on Friday for victims who lost their lives in wildfires.
Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune declared three days of national mourning after fires in the northeast killed 12 people this week and injured at least 54 others, including six critically.
Forest fires occur regularly in northern Algeria during the summer, but the climate crisis is amplifying their impact by causing more frequent droughts and intense heat.
According to Civil Protection data, around 4,000 fires were recorded between May 1 and July 20, compared with 1,501 during the same period last year, representing an increase of nearly 167 percent
