Tragically, two people – an eight-year-old boy and a 22-year-old woman – died in the village of Bouhyane, located in the Melbou commune. These fires are described as large-scale and have prompted evacuations of families from affected areas. The exact cause of the blazes remains unknown at this time. This incident underscores the recurring threat of wildfires in Algeria, particularly during the hot, dry summer months.
