Wildfires which killed at least 38 people across northern Algeria have been largely contained, firefighters said Friday, but new blazes forced further evacuations and the closure of some roads near the Tunisian border.Fierce fires have become an annual fixture in Algeria's parched forests where climate change is exacerbating a long-running drought."We are currently fighting 11 fires," the civil defence's Colonel Boualem Boughlef told an evening news broadcast.He said more than 1,000 families had been evacuated since Wednesday.
