Algeria's Inferno: The Human Cost of Climate Change and Neglect The orphanage fire in Algiers that left 11 dead and 19 injured is a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of climate change, combined with decades of neglect and underinvestment in essential services.
President Abdelmadjid Tebboune expressed his condolences amidst his trip to Berlin, highlighting the tragedy's familiarity to Algeria.
The fire appears to have been sparked overnight, with locals reporting hearing sirens at around 3 a. m. local time.
