Algeria has also been dealing with a similar wildfire, that has already killed 65 people (as of August 11, 2021) including soldiers 

According to CNN, the forest fires in Algeria have killed 65 people as of Tuesday, including 28 soldiers who were deployed to help out with the blaze. A heatwave of 48 degrees Celsius was recorded in the areas of the fire, while civil defence continued battling the fires.

The fire started on August 9 and is considered to be one of the most widespread fires in the North of Algeria to date. 

The Mediterranean has been a point of discussion globally due to the wildfires that have taken over forests in Turkey, Greece, and Algeria – worsened, in part, due to heatwave.
