Six people have died in wildfires sweeping through Algeria, the interior ministry announced. The fires, still raging in several parts of the country, have been exacerbated by an intense heatwave gripping northern Algeria. The ministry has ordered a survey to inventory all recorded damage to facilitate compensation for those affected.

Resources have been deployed to combat the remaining fires. Algeria has faced numerous wildfires in recent years, resulting in dozens of fatalities. The current heatwave has sparked hundreds of forest fires across the region.

The interior ministry's statement emphasized the need for a comprehensive assessment of the damage to ensure proper compensation for affected individuals. The exact causes of the fires remain under investigation, but the extreme weather conditions have significantly contributed to their spread.
