Fifteen killed and thousands evacuated as fires sweep Algeria
At least 15 people have been killed and thousands evacuated after wildfires broke out across Algeria, the country's interior ministry says.
The most extensive fires, in the mountainous Kabylie region to the east of Algiers, spread to residential areas in the coastal towns of Bejaia and Jijel, fanned by high winds. Temperatures in several regions in North Africa are up to 7C higher than normal for the time of year.
