Raging wildfires in Algeria have left at least seven people dead and several seriously injured, according to the Algerian interior minister, who blamed arson for the blazes that broke out Monday.
Interior Minister Kamel Beldjoud said on Tuesday that six people were killed in Tizi Ouzou and one in Setif. Beldjoud gave instructions for hotels, youth hostels and other available facilities to accommodate residents displaced by the fires.
