 More than 100 people hospitalised, 150 homes damaged in Algeria fires


More than 100 people were hospitalised after wildfires reached nearly 150 homes in a small town in north-eastern Algeria, the country's interior minister said.


The fires broke out on Tuesday in Seraidi, a town west of the city of Annaba surrounded by forests.


Interior Minister Said Sayoud told reporters at a local hospital that most of the hospitalised people were in a "stable and reassuring" condition, adding that more than 150 homes had been affected by the fires.


Algeria has been grappling with hundreds of wildfires for days, with at least six people dead in several provinces, according to the interior ministry.


A court in Algiers said on Wednesday that four people had been placed in pre-trial detention for "setting fires within forest areas" around northeastern Algeria's Constantine province.
