Emergency personnel, law enforcement, and investigation units cordoned off the area as sorrowful family members assembled outside the affected structure.

Prime Minister Sifi Ghrieb paid a visit to the victims in the hospital and conveyed the government’s sympathy, stating that medical staff had been ordered to offer the highest quality care to those who were hurt. The reason behind the fire has not been disclosed yet.

The disaster occurred as Algeria faced a severe heatwave, which has raised the likelihood of fires throughout the nation. Civil protection officials stated that almost 1,000 fires were recorded in the past week, causing significant strain on emergency services. Pictures from the orphanage revealed windows covered in soot, damaged walls, and firefighters conducting last checks after the fire was put out.

Officials have initiated an inquiry to determine the cause of the fire and assess if further safety protocols are necessary to safeguard sensitive buildings when temperatures rise significantly.
