Extreme heat has caused loss of life in parts of the world
In July, severe weather devastated Southern Europe, North Africa, and other regions of the world.
As a result of the extreme heat that has extended throughout various portions of the Mediterranean Sea and other regions, at least 34 people have perished in Algeria and many have been evacuated in other parts of Europe.
Due to the wind blowing during the heat that reached 48 degrees Celsius, wildfires started in the woodlands of the Kabylia region on the Mediterranean coast.
On Wednesday, Algerian television reported that the nation has successfully put out the forest fires that were still raging in its forests and forcing 1,500 citizens to leave their homes.
Every summer, there are forest fires in Algeria's north and east, and this year's Mediterranean has gotten worse.
Similarly, Tunisia, our neighbour, has just experienced a horrific fire, particularly in the Tabarka region in the northwest of the nation.
In boats and on foot, more than 300 residents of the coastal town of Melloula were rescued. Three locations northwest of Bizerte, Siliana, and Beja are still on fire, and firefighters are still attempting to contain it.
With record-breaking temperatures in China, the United States, and Southern Europe in July, the excessive heat caused havoc on the planet, resulting in wildfires, water shortages, epidemics of ailments related to the heat, and hospitalisations.
