\nEducation Sector: Local governments in affected areas have implemented Remote Learning (PJJ) on September 7–8 as a safety measure against ash exposure.
\nAdvisory: High vigilance is maintained despite decreased activity. Personnel in affected zones are advised to follow BPBD and PVMBG protocols.
\nBackground and Alert Status
Mt. Krakatau, located in the Sunda Strait, has shown a significant escalation in volcanic activity since early July 2026. Following a prolonged period of dormancy, activity intensified, prompting the Geological Agency to raise the alert status from Level II (Waspada/Caution) to Level III (Siaga/Alert) on July 2, 2026.
Eruption Timeline
Based on monitoring by the Geological Agency, the eruption commenced on Friday (04/09) at 23:07 WIB and continued until Sunday (06/09) at 00:04 WIB. Audible rumbling sounds were reported from the Pasauran volcanic observation post in Banten.
Regional Impacts
\nSouth Lampung Regency: The eruption has resulted in volcanic ashfall across the region. Local authorities have heightened emergency preparedness and temporarily suspended all tourism activities to Sebesi Island and the Mt. Krakatau area. As of the latest update, there are no reports of casualties or structural damage. Residents have been advised to wear masks.
\nPandeglang Regency: Impacted areas have experienced felt tremors and volcanic ashfall. No casualties or damage have been reported to date. The public is urged to wear masks, minimize outdoor activities, and strictly maintain a 3 km exclusion zone from the center of volcanic activity.
\nTanggamus Regency: Significant ashfall has affected several sub-districts, including Pematang Sawa, Kelumbayan, Cukuh Balak, and the Kota Agung area. The ash has impacted residential settlements and daily community activities. Residents are advised to wear masks and limit outdoor mobility.
\nAviation and Infrastructure Disruption
The eruption has severely impacted aviation operations due to the dispersion of volcanic ash in the surrounding airspace. This has led to the temporary closure of several key airports, including Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Halim Perdanakusuma, Radin Inten II, and Budiarto. Mitigation measures, such as flight delays, cancellations, and rerouting, have been implemented to ensure aviation safety.
Current Response
Data collection and continuous monitoring of the impacts of Mt. Krakatau’s eruption are currently ongoing.

Wildfires have been affecting large parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina since early August 2026, with the situation particularly severe in Herzegovina, where NASA fire-detection systems recorded 1,292 hotspots in just the first 13 days of August — three times more than in the same period last year. The 2026 fire season has been driven by prolonged drought, high temperatures and strong, shifting winds, resulting in numerous simultaneous wildfires across both entities.
\nCurrently active fires (as of 6 September 2026) are affecting multiple regions: Bihać, Kalesija, Mrkonjić Grad, Kupres / Tomislavgrad, Bosanski Petrovac, Drvar and Prozor-Rama, where helicopters of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina were deployed following approval from the BiH Presidency, with around 30 troops also engaged on the ground in Bihać. Between Drvar and Glamoč, fire has affected the villages of Savići, Poljice and Crni Vrh, with several houses destroyed overnight after strong winds re-ignited the blaze. In the Poljice area (Kajtezi hamlet), the fire reached residential structures directly, prompting an urgent air-support request from the Municipality of Drvar.
\nFires are also active around Sarajevo: a large fire broke out in the upper Bijela river canyon and surrounding plateau in the Trnovo municipality, on the slopes of Mount Bjelašnica, with smoke reaching Sarajevo and causing measurably increased air pollution at monitoring stations in the western part of the city. Firefighters and forestry workers from KJP \"Sarajevo-šume\" have been battling a fire line roughly 26 kilometres long above Ostojići, an operation further complicated by landmine contamination in parts of the affected terrain. A separate fire on Mount Trebević, near East Sarajevo, broke out in late August and was extinguished after multi-day firefighting efforts involving over 100 personnel and a helicopter from the RS Police Air Unit; the area remains subject to preventive monitoring due to smouldering material in the karst terrain.
\nElsewhere, fires around Trebinje, Nevesinje, Konjic and Neum have been active for several weeks, with the Konjic fire on Džepska planina burning for over seven days. In Nevesinje, fire has reached close to the village of Humčani, with local firefighters and residents defending homes, while a second fire front is active at Zalom. In the Bileća area (Kazanci), two houses have burned over the past ten days. Trebinje — the fire near the city landfill at Obodina has been stabilized, with more than 100 people engaged;
\nAffected population and impact: No fire-related deaths or injuries have been confirmed in BiH in available reporting. Impact has primarily manifested as property damage (partial destruction of homes in Drvar, Prozor-Rama and Bileća municipalities) and disruption to daily life in affected rural communities, several of which have mobilised residents alongside firefighters to defend homes. Air quality in Sarajevo has fluctuated between \"Good\" and \"Moderate\" (AQI (US) 38–75) over recent days, with localised readings reaching \"Unhealthy\" levels for PM10, posing a heightened risk to residents with pre-existing respiratory or cardiac conditions across the broader Sarajevo Canton population (413,593 per the 2013 census). Municipalities directly affected by active fires or immediate fire threat have a combined population in the tens of thousands (see population breakdown provided separately), though the number of people within the immediate fire-risk zone (specific villages/hamlets) is considerably smaller than total municipal populations.
\nResponse operations involve the Armed Forces of BiH (helicopters and ground personnel), professional and volunteer firefighting units, forestry management companies (Sarajevo-šume, Prenj, Borja, Lisina), Mountain Rescue Service teams, police aviation units (RS MUP), and — for the most severe fires near the Croatian border — regional aerial support including a Croatian Canadair CL-415 aircraft.

A major flash flood struck Rasuwa district after a sudden and intense surge of water entered the Bhote Koshi River from the Tibet (China) side at approximately 9:15 AM. The flood rapidly impacted the Timure, Rasuwagadhi, and Syabrubesi areas, causing significant damage to settlements, markets, police infrastructure, roads, and hydropower facilities. Authorities have warned that rising water levels could affect downstream communities along the Trishuli River corridor.
\nCurrent Situation
\nThe flood is suspected to have originated from a high-altitude outburst upstream in Tibet, though the exact cause remains under investigation.
\nWater levels reportedly rose dramatically, with flood waves estimated at 8-10 meters in some locations.
\nAuthorities have reported severe initial damage in:
\nTimure Market
\nTimure Customs Office
\nRasuwagadhi area
\nSyabrubesi settlement
\nMultiple hydropower projects, including damage to the Chilime Hydropower Project
\nThree Nepal Police facilities: Timure Area Police Office, Rasuwagadhi Police Post, and Syabrubesi Police Post
\nInitial reports indicate that 30-40 drivers may be missing, although verification is ongoing. Extent of causaulities and missing persons remain unclear.
\nAreas at Risk
\nHigh-alert warnings have been issued for communities located along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers, particularly in: Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading, Gorkha, Chitwan.
\nResidents living along riverbanks have been advised to move to safer locations and remain vigilant until further notice.
\nTransport and Access
\nTravel has been discouraged on: Prithvi Highway, Galchhi-Nuwakot-Rasuwa-Syabrubesi Road, Muglin-Narayangadh Road, Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police have reportedly halted vehicles heading toward Rasuwa and other affected districts.
\nPeople working, fishing, or conducting activities near the Trishuli River have been ordered to leave the river corridor immediately. Initial data are not available due to communication cut off in affected areas, will be updated in next field report.

\r\nTyphoon Narra, designated as Storm No.4 in Việt Nam, stalled off the northern coast early Monday, dumping torrential rain that pushed several rivers to their highest flood-alert levels, killed at least one person and damaged more than 4,000 homes in the northern province of Lạng Sơn.
\nAt 4am, the storm's centre sat over the Gulf of Tonkin about 140km east of Quảng Ninh Province, packing sustained winds of 75-88km/h and gusts as strong as 103-117km/h, the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said.
\nThe system had barely moved in the previous six hours. Forecasters expect it to drift slowly east, then northeast, over the Gulf of Tonkin before making landfall in China's Guangxi region around August 27 and weakening into a tropical depression.
\nWind gusts as strong as level 11 (103-117km/h) were recorded on the island of Bạch Long Vĩ while rainfall since August 21 topped 500mm in parts of Quảng Ninh and 520mm in Lạng Sơn, saturating soil across the northeast and raising the risk of flash floods and landslides in mountainous areas, the forecasting centre said.

The strongest winds near the storm centre were at Force 8, with gusts up to Force 10. The typhoon was moving southwest at approximately 3 km/h.
\nAs of 10:00 on 23 August, the centre of Typhoon No. 4 was located over the sea north of Bach Long Vi Special Zone, approximately 135 km east of Quang Ninh and 140 km east of Hai Phong. The storm had maximum sustained winds of Force 8–9, with gusts reaching Force 10–11, and was moving southward at approximately 3 km/h.
\nLocal authorities have proactively implemented response measures for the typhoon, heavy rainfall and flooding, including the evacuation of households in areas at risk of flooding, in line with the directions of the Prime Minister and the National Civil Defence Steering Committee.
\nDue to the circulation of Typhoon No. 4, heavy rainfall has caused water levels in the Luc Nam, Thuong and Ky Cung rivers to rise. From 23–25 August, flood peaks on the Thuong, Luc Nam, Thai Binh (Hai Phong), Trung, Ky Cung, Bac Giang (Lang Son), Bang Giang (Cao Bang) and Cau (Thai Nguyen) rivers are forecast to reach Alert Level 2–3, with some rivers expected to exceed Alert Level 3.
\nTo proactively respond to Typhoon No. 4 and the associated heavy rain and flooding, authorities at both central and local levels have implemented coordinated measures in line with the “four on-the-spot” principle, ensuring proactive, timely and context-specific action, with a focus on protecting people’s lives and property.
\nTo ensure the safety of people and their property, local authorities have evacuated 2,383 households, including 2,335 households in Lang Son (211 in Huu Lung and 2,124 in Ky Cung, of which 733 flooded households were evacuated), 31 households in Quang Ninh, 17 households in Bac Ninh, and 121 households in Thanh Hoa. Forces have also been deployed to guard and control people and vehicles in areas at risk of deep flooding and landslides, helping to minimise damage caused by the heavy rain, flooding and Typhoon No. 4.
\nAs of 07:00 on 23 August 2026, preliminary damage reported in Lang Son, Quang Ninh and Bac Ninh provinces due to Typhoon No. 4 and heavy rainfall is as follows:

\nSince August 19, 2026, seven days of incessant and sustained heavy rainfall, consistent with Liberia's peak rainy season, have caused widespread flash and riverine flooding across nine counties: Montserrado, Cape Mount, Grand Bassa, Bomi, Nimba, Gbarpolu, Margibi, River Gee, and Bong. Montserrado, home to Monrovia (Liberia's capital) and a dense urban corridor, remains the epicenter, with informal settlements along the St Paul River, Stockon Creek, Du-River, and the Mosurado River wetland especially exposed to slow-draining floodwater.
\nBetween August 22-26, the crisis escalated sharply: displacement in Monrovia rose from an estimated 5,000 to 18,000 people, and the number of affected communities nationwide increased from 32-48with Montserrado/ Monrovia accounting for over 60% of all affected communities and the population affected and at risk. The total affected population nationawide as risen to an estimated 76,000 people, up from 64,000, facing damaged housing, contaminated water sources, and disrupted livelihoods, and heightened waterborne disease risk. This escalation followed the NDMA June 30, 2026 warning of rising flood risk in Monrovia, citing the Liberia Meteorological Service forecast of 218.7- 754.2 mm rainfall and 88-90% humidity conditions that limit drainage and prolong flooding. The current crisis reflects that projected risk materializing and intensifying rapidly, compounded by weak urban drainage, wetland encroachment, and unplanned settlement growth.
\nThe flooding situation across the affected countries remains active, with heavy rainfall continuing to compound an already critical humanitarian emergency. In Montserrado County, the floodwater continues to settle in wetlands, prolonging inundation in low-laying settlement and sustaining displacement for roughly 18,000 residents currently sheltering with relatives and host homes across communities in and around Monrovia.
\nThe outlook carries significant risk of further deterioration. With Liberia's rainy season throughout September, additional rainfall is likely to drive further displacement and prolong the crisis, while contaminated water sources pose a high risk of cholera, typhoid, and other waterborne diseases; however, displaced families, women, children, old people, and persons with disabilities face heightened protection risk, including overcrowding, loss of privacy, and worsen under sustained pressure

\nThe flooding situation across the affected counties remains active, with heavy rain continuing to compound an already critical humanitarian emergency. In Montserrado County, floodwater continues to settle in wetlands, sheltering with relatives and host homes across the 10 communities. No fatalities have been reported to date, but transportation routes and livelihoods remain challenged, and contaminated water sources are elevating the risk of waterborne disease outbreaks among the estimated 64,000 people affected nationwide.

The assessment is part of ongoing efforts to establish the scale and humanitarian needs of displaced and host populations following recent attacks by non-state armed groups along the Sokoto–Kebbi border.
\nBetween 17 and 19 August 2026, more than 5,000 people reportedly fled eight communities in Jega LGA following attacks attributed locally to banditry groups, with the majority moving to Jega town. More than 2,500 displaced people were initially accommodated at Jega Model Primary School, while others sought shelter with host families in Jega. The continued use of the school as a temporary displacement site is an immediate concern, as schools are expected to reopen on 12 September 2026, creating an urgent need for an alternative site and coordinated relocation planning.
\nSubsequent field-level assessment in Kanya Community identified 6,430 displaced persons originating from five villages—Dpindu, Dkwala, Kundurku, Rafin Gora and Gwazawa.

\nThe wider NRCS assessment has also documented the impact of population movement and conflict-related incidents across Bagudo, Jega, Koko-Besse, Shanga and Yauri LGAs, covering 18 affected communities. The assessment recorded deaths and injuries, alongside displacement and damage to homes and livelihoods. The available structured assessment data records 73 deaths and 177 injured persons across the reported incidents.
\nThe evolving situation has resulted in significant needs for food assistance, emergency shelter and non-food items, safe water and sanitation, health and nutrition services, protection and PGI support, assistance to unaccompanied children and other vulnerable groups, population registration and tracking, and community engagement and accountability.
\nThe Nigerian Red Cross Society, in coordination with SEMA, MSF and other relevant authorities and humanitarian actors, continues to assess the situation and support affected populations.

The sustained intensity and duration of the rainfall caused severe flooding across several parts of the state, with Obosi Community among the most significantly affected locations.
\nThe accumulated floodwater in Obosi Community eventually triggered a major landslide, cutting off an affected road and severely disrupting movement within the area. Houses in close proximity to the landslide and flooded zones sustained partial damage, and road access was completely severed at the point of the landslide. The Nigerian Red Cross Society Anambra State Branch deployed its Disaster Management team to conduct a rapid assessment of the affected community immediately following the incident.
\nAlthough no deaths or injuries were recorded at the time of assessment, the situation poses a significant ongoing safety risk to residents, road users and surrounding structures, particularly in the event of further rainfall. The landslide area remains unstable, with continued risk of further ground movement, possible damage to additional structures and restricted access threatening the safety of the affected population. Approximately 350 persons are affected and approximately 15 houses have been partially damaged.
\nAnambra State is identified in the NIHSA 2026 Annual Flood Outlook among the high-risk states for the current rainy season, with communities along river corridors and low-lying areas at particular risk. The combination of flash flooding and landslide activity in Obosi reflects the compounded hazard profile of communities in the state during the July to September peak flood period.

\nof tropical waves, including tropical waves #31, #32 and #33, which have generated conditions of prolonged atmospheric instability, characterized by intense rains, thunderstorms and gusts of wind in different sectors of the region.
\nIn Panama, Tropical Wave #32, which entered the national territory as of August 12, caused damage mainly in Bocas del Toro, the Ngäbe-Buglé region and Guna Yala, including falling trees, road interruptions and difficulties in accessing communities and sectors of Changuinola.
\nGiven the persistence of meteorological and hydrological conditions, the National Civil Protection System (SINAPROC) maintains a Yellow Alert for sectors of Bocas del Toro and associated indigenous territories. This scenario maintains a high probability of occurrence or increase of threats related to intense rains, sudden flooding of rivers and streams, floods, landslides and damage to communication routes.
\nThe areas under surveillance include Almirante, Chiriquí Grande, Bocas del Toro, Kusapín, Kankintú, Jirondai and the Naso Tjër Di region, territories characterized by dispersed communities, rural population and access conditions that can be severely limited by hydrometeorological events.
\nThe intense rains recorded in different provinces of the country have caused floods, with significant impacts in the province of Bocas del Toro, particularly in the sectors of Changuinola, Almirante and Chiriquí Grande, as well as effects in areas of Chiriquí and the Ngäbe-Buglé region.
\nAccording to preliminary information compiled by SINAPROC, more than 20 communities have reported damages. To date, approximately 1,226 homes have been evaluated, corresponding to 6,130 affected people. SINAPROC, in conjunction with the institutions of the Operations Center, continues the evaluations in communities of the Panama-Costa Rica border cordon on the Sixaola River and its tributaries
\nThere are currently two active shelters, located in California and Puente Blanco. However, there is a progressive process of return of some families to their communities and homes, even though humanitarian needs and limited access to services and basic assistance persist.
\nThis situation requires special attention, because the return of families can increase their level of exposure if adverse weather and hydrological conditions persist.

The epicentre was located offshore, approximately 30 kilometres northeast of Mbay, Nagekeo District, at a depth of 15 kilometres. The earthquake affected seven districts: Manggarai Barat, Manggarai, Manggarai Timur, Ngada, Nagekeo, Ende and Sikka. Thousands of aftershocks have continued, increasing anxiety among communities and discouraging many families from returning to damaged homes.
\nAs of 24 August 2026 at 09:00 WIB, the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) reported 100 deaths, 1,603 people injured or ill, and 180,327 people displaced. A total of 73,818 houses were damaged, together with 1,378 educational facilities, 118 health facilities, 504 government offices, and 396 places of worship. The figures remain preliminary and may change as assessment and verification continue.
\nDisplaced people are staying in communal sites, temporary shelters, open areas, with relatives or in small self-established sites near their homes. Many independently displaced families remain difficult to identify and reach, particularly in remote, mountainous and island communities. Priority concerns include emergency shelter, safe water and sanitation, healthcare, essential household items, protection and psychosocial support. Children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, older people, persons with disabilities, people with chronic health conditions and families whose homes were severely damaged face increased risks. Although access along major routes has improved, several remote villages and island communities continue to experience logistical constraints. Existing water shortages linked to the dry season and El Niño, together with ongoing volcanic activity in parts of Flores, are further increasing humanitarian needs.

\nDuring August 15, the passage of tropical wave No. 32 generated persistent and locally intense rains, especially in sectors of the Caribbean, the North Zone and mountainous areas.

\nBetween August 15 and 16, the rains began to generate significant impacts, including floods, river overflows, landslides, falling trees, affecting homes, interruptions in roads and evacuations of population.
\nAs a result of the increase in damages, the CNE raised the Northern Zone, the Caribbean Slope and Turrialba to orange alert, while other regions of the country remained under yellow alert.

Background
\nBetween the afternoon of Friday, July 31, and the early morning of Saturday, August 1, 2026, an episode of strong and occasionally severe storms was recorded in Uruguay, with greater impact in the northern part of the country. The event was associated with an orange level weather warning from INUMET and generated power outages, falling trees and minor damage to infrastructure, mainly concentrated in the department of Salto.
\nAs a result of the rains recorded in the upper and middle basin of the Uruguay River, the flood wave continues to propagate downstream of the Salto Grande dam. As of August 2, river levels are rising at the five reference stations, with a probability of exceeding the safety level in Bella Unión, Salto and Paysandú during the day of August 3. Fray Bentos would remain below its safety level.
\nThe saturation of the soils in the basin, after the accumulations of recent weeks, reduces the infiltration capacity and favors direct runoff into watercourses, which constitutes an additional risk factor for any new rainfall over the region.
Seasonal climate trend (INUMET-UdelaR)
\nSource: Uruguayan Institute of Meteorology and University of the Republic, Climate Trends Bulletin No. 7, July-August-September 2026. The trends are expressed as the probability that the quarter will be located in the upper, middle, or lower tertile of the climatological distribution (in the absence of bias, 33.3% in each category).
\nCurrent conditions (April-May-June mobile quarter, closed on 06/28/2026): negative precipitation anomalies predominated in much of the country, of greater magnitude south of the Río Negro (deviations between -70% and 50% throughout the territory), and negative temperature anomalies throughout the country, more intense in the north (-1.5 °C to -2.0 °C) than in the center, south and east (-0.5 °C to -1.0 °C).
\nENSO context: during June 2026, warm sea surface temperature anomalies in the equatorial Pacific were consolidated (anomalies in the Niño 1+2, 3, 3.4 and 4 regions of 2.5 °C, 1.5 °C, 1.2 °C and 0.6 °C respectively, as of 06/29/2026), together with weakening of the trade winds and deepening of the Southern Oscillation Index in negative values. CPC-NOAA's ENSO forecasts initialized in June assign a close to 100% probability of El Niño conditions during the JJA 2026 quarter, with persistence expected for the remainder of the year. This scenario is the one that supports the highest probability of above-normal rainfall in the northeast/north of the country during JAS, ASO and SON, and the greater seasonal predictability that INUMET reports during the development of El Niño.
\nRelevance for the Uruguay River basin: the bias towards above-normal rainfall in the northern half of the country during the next three rolling quarters (JAS, ASO and SON), added to the persistence of El Niño, maintains a background scenario favorable to new intense rainfall events and the generation of floods in the upper and middle river basin.Uruguay, beyond the punctual evolution of the current flood.
Soil condition and absorption capacity
\nThe accumulated rainfall during the last weeks in the Uruguay River basin, including the severe event of July 31-August 1, keeps the soils of the littoral region and the upper and middle basin in a condition of high saturation.
\n+With saturated soil profiles, the infiltration capacity is greatly reduced: most of any new rainfall runs off directly into streams and ravines instead of being absorbed.
\n+This effect partly explains why occasional floods in urban courses (e.g., Sauzal and Ceibal streams in Salto) moved rapidly to the main channel of the Uruguay River.
\n+Specialists consulted by the region's media stress that the flood risk analysis should not be based only on the instantaneous level of the river, but on the set of rains that have already occurred, rains forecast, the behavior of tributaries and the state of saturation of the soils throughout the basin.
\n +In this context, any significant new rainfall over the upper or middle basin is more likely to quickly translate into an increase in flow, given the limited margin of absorption remaining.
Bella Unión: the level continues to rise with a low rate of increase; It is expected to reach and slightly exceed the safety level (6.30 m) in the next few hours.
\nJump: it is not expected to exceed 11.90 m, although it is likely that the safety level of 11.40 m will be exceeded. The current rate of increase (8 cm/h) is the highest of the five stations monitored.
\nPaysandú and Fray Bentos (according to CARU): the levels will continue to increase gradually. In Paysandú, a value close to 6.35 m is expected, exceeding the safety level; in Fray Bentos, a level close to 2.91 m is expected, below its safety level.

A major wildfire broke out on Friday, 31 July 2026, near the coastal village of Agios Vasileios in Boeotia, before spreading rapidly southward. Authorities confirmed the wildfire was triggered by a spark from a power cable, and two employees of an electricity company were arrested over the blaze. Driven by strong to gale-force winds, the fire developed multiple active fronts and merged into a single, largely uncontrollable blaze. At its peak, the fire front stretched nearly 100 kilometers, from Kalamaki in Boeotia to Porto Germeno in Attica. Meteorologists indicated the fire had taken on the characteristics of a megafire.
\nThe fire has burned across two regional units, Boeotia (Municipality of Thebes) and West Attica (Municipality of Mandra-Eidyllia), for several consecutive days under extreme conditions. Roughly 111,000 stremmata (about 27,400 acres) burned in total, with about 30,900 stremmata in the Boeotia fire and 80,800 stremmata in the still-active Porto Germeno blaze in Attica.
\nThe response has been large-scale. Across Attica and Boeotia, 496 firefighters were operating, including 46 firefighters and eight vehicles from France and Romania under the EU's firefighter pre-positioning program, supported by aircraft, wildland units, volunteers, and military and municipal heavy machinery cutting firebreaks. Aerial operations were repeatedly grounded by high winds, shifting the burden to ground crews.
\nA significant operational tragedy occurred during the response: both crew members aboard one of two firefighting helicopters that collided midair on 2 August were killed, while the crew of the second helicopter was found safe and taken for medical care. The deadly collision near Psatha killed a Danish pilot and a Greek coordinator-translator.
\nThe fire struck a cluster of small rural and coastal settlements, including Porto Germeno, Mytikas, Kryo Pigadi, Agios Nektarios, Agia Paraskevi, Veniza, Psatha, Alepochori, Loumpa and Zachouli, during peak summer holiday season, when the resort area's population is well above its small permanent base.
\nDisplacement: Successive emergency (112) alerts ordered mass evacuations. Evacuation orders were issued for residents of the settlements of Agia Paraskevi, Mytikas, Kryo Pigadi and Agios Nektarios, and further waves covered Alepochori, Psatha, Veniza, Loumpa, Zachouli and areas toward Megara. Because road access was cut, people were rescued by sea: more than 200 people from the town of Agios Vasileios had to be evacuated by sea, in addition to earlier sea evacuations of 254 people on Friday and 12 on Saturday from the Porto Germeno coast.
\nRegarding houses, the estimation is that more than 100 homes have been burnt or damaged.

The situation escalated rapidly between 30 and 31 July 2026, resulting in a major migration, humanitarian, and security crisis affecting both Morocco and the Spanish autonomous city of Ceuta.
\nAccording to reports from the Moroccan Red Crescent (MRC) on ground, local information and international media sources, tens of thousands of people have gathered in and around Fnideq and attempted to enter Ceuta by sea and land. Spanish authorities have deployed military reinforcements, while Moroccan security forces have strengthened border controls and crowd management measures.

\nCeuta is a Spanish autonomous city located on the northern coast of Africa and bordering Morocco. Together with Melilla, it constitutes the European Union's only land border with Africa. The area has historically served as a migration route for individuals seeking entry into Europe.
\nSince late July 2026, a substantial increase in migration movements originating from northern Morocco, particularly the Fnideq area, has evolved into a major cross-border humanitarian emergency. Large numbers of migrants have attempted to enter Ceuta by swimming around border barriers or by approaching land crossing points.
\nThe situation deteriorated significantly on 30 and 31 July 2026.
\nSpanish authorities deployed additional police and military personnel to Ceuta to restore order and manage the influx. Moroccan authorities simultaneously reinforced security deployments around Fnideq and key border crossing points. Crowd control measures, including water cannons and dispersal operations, have been reported near the border area.
\nLarge crowds continue to gather around the border area, and migration attempts remain ongoing despite heightened security measures.

While the national emergency (Operational Situation Level 3) declared for the Madrid–Ávila fire complex has been lifted as of July 31, the overall crisis persists, with active fires and re-ignition risks remaining across several regions.
\nThe Madrid–Ávila–Toledo wildfire complex has burned approximately 70,000 hectares, making the Ávila (Burgohondo) fire the largest recorded wildfire in Spain's history since records began in 1961. No active fire fronts have been reported for over 48 hours, and the emergency has been downgraded to Operational Level 2, returning coordination to regional authorities. However, approximately 1,000 residents near the San Juan reservoir remain unable to return home, and firefighting crews continue cooling and monitoring operations amid concerns over high temperatures and potential flare-ups.
\nIn the eastern Province of Castellón, the La Vall d'Uixó wildfire has burned approximately 9,598 hectares across an 82-kilometre perimeter and has entered the Sierra de Espadán Natural Park. The fire is not yet stabilized, although approximately 70% of the perimeter has been consolidated and no spread has been reported for 48 hours. Over 1,000 emergency personnel and multiple aerial assets remain deployed. Around 5,200 residents remain displaced, while some 1,800 have been allowed to return. A re-ignition was reported in Betxí on July 31, and authorities have ruled out natural causes after identifying two separate ignition points.
\nA new wildfire broke out on July 29 near Fermoselle, in the Arribes del Duero Natural Park, Zamora Province, near the Portuguese border. The fire has burned approximately 11,000 hectares and has forced the evacuation of 14 localities, with 2 additional towns under confinement orders. The perimeter has been consolidated overnight, and only a few active hotspots remain in the most inaccessible areas of the Duero canyon. Authorities indicate that if conditions remain favourable, some evacuation orders may be lifted in the coming hours. Approximately 40 ground and aerial resources, including the Military Emergency Unit (UME), remain engaged in containment operations.
\nThe situation remains dynamic. Spain has recorded 180,000 hectares burned in 2026 so far across 38 large wildfires — more than six times the area lost in the same period last year. A new heatwave is sweeping across the country, with temperatures reaching 42°C in some areas, maintaining extreme wildfire risk across much of the territory. National authorities, emergency services, the Military Emergency Unit (UME), the Spanish Red Cross, and EU Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM) resources remain fully engaged in containment, monitoring, and humanitarian assistance operations across all affected areas.

Low-lying areas and settlements located along riverbeds were particularly impacted. The floods resulted in loss of life, injuries, and widespread damage to shelters, livelihoods and agricultural land, reflecting the broader pattern of seasonal flooding currently affecting several parts of the country.
\nAccording to preliminary information compiled by the Afghan Red Crescent Society (ARCS), more than 910 families were affected. The floods caused 31 deaths and 11 injuries, with 77 cases of missing persons reported. Shelter damage was significant, with 910 houses completely and partially damaged, particularly in several provinces of Nuristan,Laghman, Parwan, Logar, Kabul, Kapisa, Panjsher,Nangarhar,Ghazni,Khost,Maidan Wardak,Paktika and Paktia provinces. In addition, the floods had a severe impact on livelihoods, resulting in the loss of 330 livestock and damage to approximately 5240 jeribs of agricultural land, further increasing vulnerabilities among farming and pastoral households.
\nAs part of ongoing support of ARCS, distributed 600 Parcel hot meal in Laghman Province ,NFI for one affected HHs in Maidan wardak province to the families who have been affected severely by floods.
\nARCS, through its provincial branches and volunteers, is monitoring the evolving situation and conducting initial assessments in coordination with local authorities and Movement partners. Priority humanitarian needs identified include emergency shelter and essential household items for families whose homes were destroyed or damaged, food assistance and multipurpose cash support, as well as livelihood and agricultural recovery assistance, including livestock support. With possibility of further rainfall, affected communities remain at risk of additional flooding, underscoring the need for timely humanitarian support.

Based on ARC operational analysis, approximately 15,000 people have been affected cumulatively across the July and August waves. The late-August wave caused 12 additional deaths and 54 injuries, bringing the reported death toll since July to 18. ARC data confirm approximately 3,260 people evacuated during the second wave.
The second wave was not simply a continuation in the same locations. Operational pressure shifted toward a different concentration of affected wilayas, particularly Jijel, Skikda, Béjaïa, Mila and Bouira, while some provinces affected in July also experienced renewed impacts. At the peak, 193 fires were reported on 27 August. The fires recorded between 26 and 30 August were subsequently contained; however, ARC and national authorities remain under active surveillance because the wildfire season is ongoing and new outbreaks remain possible.
ARC field information indicates that evacuated households included families whose homes were destroyed, severely damaged or temporarily unsafe to return to. Detailed national asset-loss figures are not yet available because the operation remains focused on immediate response, evacuation, shelter and essential assistance. Government and local authorities are continuing field assessments, loss census and recovery measures covering housing and household assets, agriculture, livestock, livelihoods and public-service networks.
On 18 July 2026, the wildfire emergency in Algeria reached a significant operational peak, with 154 forest, vegetation and agricultural fires recorded within 24 hours across several wilayas. Of these, 138 fires were extinguished, while 16 remained active at the time of reporting.
\nThe fires affected northern, north-eastern, central and western Algeria, including Annaba, Souk Ahras, Skikda, Guelma, Bouira, Médéa, Mila, Mascara, El Tarf, Jijel, Sétif, Béjaïa, Tlemcen, Saïda, Tissemsilt, Biskra and Chlef.
\nOver the last 24 hours, the Ministry of the Interior, Local Authorities and Transport confirmed six fatalities linked to the wildfires. In Seraïdi, Annaba, more than 100 patients were evacuated from a rehabilitation hospital, while approximately 150 homes were affected or threatened. Preventive evacuations were also carried out in several localities, including El Tarf, Béjaïa, Guelma and Bouira.
\nThe Government of Algeria has led a strong and coordinated national response, ensuring the rapid mobilization of the competent authorities and emergency services. Efforts have focused on protecting lives, supporting affected communities, securing threatened areas and maintaining close operational coordination across the affected wilayas.
\nThe Algerian Red Crescent mobilized its provinces committees, volunteers and logistical resources from the beginning of the emergency. Teams provided first aid, drinking water, food assistance, psychosocial support and essential humanitarian assistance to affected communities and emergency responders.
\nResponse and monitoring activities continue, while high temperatures, dry vegetation, difficult terrain and the risk of fire re-ignition remain important operational considerations.

Preventive evacuations were also carried out in several localities, including El Tarf, Béjaïa, Guelma and Bouira.
\nThe Government of Algeria has led a strong and coordinated national response, ensuring the rapid mobilization of the competent authorities and emergency services. Efforts have focused on protecting lives, supporting affected communities, securing threatened areas and maintaining close operational coordination across the affected wilayas.
\nThe Algerian Red Crescent mobilized its provinces committees, volunteers and logistical resources from the beginning of the emergency. Teams provided first aid, drinking water, food assistance, psychosocial support and essential humanitarian assistance to affected communities and emergency responders.
\nResponse and monitoring activities continue, while high temperatures, dry vegetation, difficult terrain and the risk of fire re-ignition remain important operational considerations.

The event caused one confirmed death, one person injured and four evacuations, and left more than 37,800 homes without electricity nationwide, with Salto and Maldonado being the hardest hit departments. In the city of Salto, strong winds knocked down trees and power lines and ripped roofs off numerous homes; local authorities (CECOED Salto) report that one locality remains practically isolated, affecting approximately 90 families.
\nHeavy rains continued until July 20, with accumulated rains of between 150 and 225 mm recorded in the departments of Durazno, Florida and Treinta y Tres. According to the National Water Directorate (DINAGUA), several watersheds, including the Yí, Cuareim and Olimar Grande rivers, have rising levels, with flood alerts in force until July 23-24 for areas of Durazno, Artigas and Treinta y Tres.
\nOn July 20, the national government declared an agricultural emergency in Salto after the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries (MGAP) confirmed that 300 producers, 85% of those registered with the General Directorate of the Farm, were affected, with damage to approximately 300 hectares of crops. President Yamandú Orsi visited the affected area. Local authorities and the state-owned power company UTE are continuing restoration operations and assistance to the affected population, much of whom remains without adequate shelter.

Urgent interventions are needed to strengthen routine and outbreak-response immunization, enhance community awareness, improve cross-border coordination, and ensure timely access to quality healthcare services.","name":"MWI: Epidemic - 07-2026 - Measles Outbreak","translation_module_original_language":"en"},{"dtype":{"id":12,"summary":"","name":"Flood","translation_module_original_language":"en"},"countries":[{"iso":"VN","iso3":"VNM","id":191,"record_type":1,"record_type_display":"Country","region":2,"independent":true,"is_deprecated":false,"fdrs":"DVN001","average_household_size":null,"society_name":"Vietnam Red Cross Society","name":"Viet Nam","translation_module_original_language":"en"}],"num_affected":null,"ifrc_severity_level":0,"ifrc_severity_level_display":"Yellow","ifrc_severity_level_update_date":null,"glide":"","disaster_start_date":"2026-07-16T00:00:00Z","created_at":"2026-07-17T09:35:41.144443Z","auto_generated":true,"appeals":[],"is_featured":false,"is_featured_region":false,"field_reports":[{"status":9,"contacts":[{"ctype":"Originator","name":"Le Phuong Anh","title":"Programme Officer","email":"phuonganh.le@ifrc.org","phone":"+84379638712","id":59846},{"ctype":"NationalSociety","name":"Tran Sy Pha","title":"Head of Disaster Management Department","email":"tranphavnrc@gmail.com","phone":"+84936423666","id":59847},{"ctype":"Federation","name":"Pascal Bourcher","title":"Programme Coordinator","email":"pascal.bourcher@ifrc.org","phone":"+66613879480","id":59848},{"ctype":"Media","name":"Kwanta Norkum","title":"Communication and Reporting Officer","email":"kwanta.norkum@ifrc.org","phone":"+66657195322","id":59849}],"countries":[{"iso":"VN","iso3":"VNM","id":191,"record_type":1,"record_type_display":"Country","region":2,"independent":true,"is_deprecated":false,"fdrs":"DVN001","average_household_size":null,"society_name":"Vietnam Red Cross Society","name":"Viet Nam","translation_module_original_language":"en"}],"created_at":"2026-07-20T04:13:59.322332Z","updated_at":"2026-07-20T04:13:59.385586Z","report_date":"2026-07-20T04:13:59.306294Z","id":18484,"is_covid_report":false,"num_injured":null,"num_dead":null,"num_missing":null,"num_affected":null,"num_displaced":null,"epi_num_dead":null,"num_assisted":null,"num_localstaff":null,"num_volunteers":null,"num_expats_delegates":null,"gov_num_injured":10,"gov_num_dead":4,"gov_num_missing":2,"gov_num_affected":4670,"gov_num_displaced":560,"gov_num_assisted":null,"other_num_injured":null,"other_num_dead":null,"other_num_missing":null,"other_num_affected":null,"other_num_displaced":null,"other_num_assisted":null,"num_potentially_affected":null,"gov_num_potentially_affected":null,"other_num_potentially_affected":null,"num_highest_risk":null,"gov_num_highest_risk":null,"other_num_highest_risk":null,"affected_pop_centres":null,"gov_affected_pop_centres":null,"other_affected_pop_centres":null,"epi_cases":null,"epi_suspected_cases":null,"epi_probable_cases":null,"epi_confirmed_cases":null,"epi_figures_source":null,"epi_figures_source_display":null,"epi_cases_since_last_fr":null,"epi_deaths_since_last_fr":null,"epi_notes_since_last_fr":null,"visibility":3,"visibility_display":"Public","request_assistance":false,"ns_request_assistance":false,"notes_health":null,"notes_ns":null,"notes_socioeco":null,"recent_affected":1,"summary":"VNM: Flood - 07-2026 - Heavy Rainfall, Flash Floods and Landslides in Northern Viet Nam #3 (2026-07-20)","description":"
Within minutes on the morning of 17 July, flash floods carrying large volumes of water, mud and debris swept across National Highway 32, inundating homes and posing an immediate threat to lives and property. The floods claimed five lives, while three people remain missing beneath mud and debris. Eight people were injured, and dozens of households were evacuated from high-risk areas as an emergency precaution.
\n\n
The floods affected 53 houses, including 20 houses that were completely washed away. Approximately 300 hectares of rice fields, crops and aquaculture areas were buried or swept away. Several transport routes, irrigation facilities, schools and power systems were also damaged.
\nAlthough floodwaters have now receded, widespread destruction remains, with many affected households continuing to face the impacts of the disaster.
\n\n
Immediately following the disaster, local authorities activated emergency response measures. Provincial and commune-level Civil Defence Command Committees were deployed to affected areas to coordinate search and rescue operations, restrict access to dangerous roads, and evacuate people from areas at risk of landslides. The province mobilised nearly 1,000 personnel, along with multiple vehicles and equipment, to support disaster response and recovery efforts.
\n\n
The flash floods were triggered by persistent heavy to very heavy rainfall across the northern mountainous region, where cumulative rainfall over the past three days generally ranged from 150–300 mm. The highest accumulations were recorded at Chế Tạo (Lào Cai) with 474 mm, Nậm Păm (Sơn La) with 350 mm, Nà Tấu (Điện Biên) with 277 mm, and Pa Thắng (Lai Châu) with 250 mm.
\n\n
Further rainfall is expected to hamper response and recovery efforts. On 20 July, moderate to heavy rain and thunderstorms are forecast across the northern mountainous region and Quảng Ninh Province, with widespread rainfall of 20–50 mm and isolated areas expected to receive more than 100 mm. Short-duration intense rainfall exceeding 70 mm within three hours is possible. Other parts of northern Viet Nam are forecast to experience scattered showers and thunderstorms, with rainfall of 10–20 mm and isolated areas receiving more than 50 mm.
\n\n
According to reports from Lào Cai, Lai Châu, Điện Biên and Sơn La provinces, heavy rainfall, floods, inundation, flash floods and landslides from 15–19 July 2026 caused the following impacts:
\n\n
Human impact: Five people were killed, three remain missing, and 10 people were injured, all reported in Lai Châu Province.
\n\n
Housing: A total of 36 houses collapsed (Lai Châu: 24; Lào Cai: 1; Sơn La: 11); 391 houses were damaged (Lai Châu: 35; Lào Cai: 305; Điện Biên: 27; Sơn La: 24); 140 houses required emergency relocation (Lào Cai: 71; Lai Châu: 26; Điện Biên: 3; Sơn La: 40); and 194 houses were affected by flooding and landslides (Lai Châu: 51; Lào Cai: 65; Điện Biên: 20; Sơn La: 58).
\n\n
Agriculture: A total of 707 hectares of rice and crops were affected (Lào Cai: 76.45 ha; Lai Châu: 409.51 ha; Điện Biên: 27.24 ha; Sơn La: 193.80 ha).
\n\n
Livestock: Approximately 250 livestock and poultry were killed or washed away.
\n\n
Transport infrastructure: Landslides affected multiple sections of roads, including national highways (QL4H, QL12, QL32 and QL279) and provincial roads in Lai Châu (ĐT127, ĐT128, ĐT129, ĐT133, ĐT133B, ĐT134, ĐT135, ĐT138 and ĐT138C); QL279, QL32 and ĐT175B in Lào Cai; 32 locations along ĐT109 in Sơn La; and QL12, QL279 and ĐT143 in Điện Biên, as well as various inter-village and inter-commune roads.
\n\n
As of the latest update, traffic remains disrupted at Km139+300 on National Highway 279. Vehicles are currently being diverted through the new bypass section of QL279 in Lào Cai.
\n\n
The total estimated economic loss is approximately VND 362.46 billion (Lai Châu: VND 190 billion; Lào Cai: VND 45.16 billion; Sơn La: VND 125 billion; Điện Biên: VND 2.3 billion).

The Government of Indonesia has prioritized response operations in six provinces: Riau, Jambi, South Sumatra, West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan and South Kalimantan. Fires have also been reported in East and North Kalimantan. Fire suppression remains challenging, particularly in peatland areas and remote locations with limited access to water.
\nAs of 9 August 2026, the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) reported approximately 48,889.69 hectares burned across the six priority provinces. More recent information compiled by PMI West Kalimantan from the Ministry of Forestry’s SIPONGI monitoring platform indicated approximately 38,301.86 hectares burned in West Kalimantan alone. The figures remain subject to verification and may change as assessments continue.
\nSmoke from the fires has significantly reduced air quality across several locations. On 24 August, the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) recorded hazardous PM2.5 levels in parts of Palembang, South Sumatra, and very unhealthy conditions in Pekanbaru, Riau. Unhealthy air quality was also recorded in parts of Jambi and West Kalimantan. Visibility in Palembang reportedly fell below 50 metres during the morning, while low visibility has caused delays to air transport in parts of Kalimantan.
\nBased on information collected by PMI provincial branches, fires have affected all 14 districts and cities in West Kalimantan. Outdoor activities have been restricted and schools have temporarily suspended in-person learning in several affected areas. In Central Kalimantan, the provincial disaster management agency reported 858 detected hotspots, 53 recorded fire incidents and approximately 190.96 hectares burned as of 23 August. Some 66,679 acute respiratory infection cases were recorded during the monitoring period; however, the proportion directly attributable to smoke exposure has not yet been verified. Respiratory symptoms have also been reported among personnel involved in fire suppression.
\nIn East Kalimantan, approximately 200 forest and land fire incidents have been reported since 14 July, affecting areas across most of the province’s districts and cities. In South Kalimantan, Banjarbaru City, Banjar District and Tanah Laut District are among the most affected areas, with smoke and fires near the airport affecting flight operations and nearby communities. Fires have also been reported in Bulungan District and Tarakan City, North Kalimantan.
\nPeople living in smoke-affected communities, particularly children, older people, pregnant women, people with existing respiratory or cardiovascular conditions, and outdoor workers, face increased health risks. Communities are also affected by disruptions to education, outdoor livelihoods, transport and daily activities. No consolidated and verified figures on the number of people affected, displaced, injured, missing or deceased were available at the time of reporting. Assessments and data verification remain ongoing.

NFI distribution is currently underway — hygiene kits, mattresses, and blankets are being distributed to the selected households.
Executive Summary
On 13 July 2026 at approximately 19:30 local time, heavy short-duration rainfall in the mountainous areas of Nooken District, Jalal-Abad Oblast triggered mudflows affecting Kochkor-Ata city and surrounding villages. Two mudflow channels overflowed simultaneously: the Besh-Korgon channel inundated residential streets in Kochkor-Ata city and destroyed 3 electricity poles in the Besh-Korgon settlement; the Kara-Bulak channel flooded Ergesh Aliev village. Separate mudflows from higher elevations submerged Kurulush, Boston, and Kop-Tam villages in the Mombekov village area.
In the affected district, 466 houses were flooded including interior spaces. Social facilities damaged: a kindergarten, a mosque, 1 city market, 4 cafes, 5 car repair shops, and 2 car washing stations. A state of emergency has been declared in the district. Three apartment building basements were flooded on Oktyabrskaya Street. No deaths or injuries were reported. Government response was immediate: approximately 362 personnel and 36+ units of equipment were mobilized for mud pumping, clearing, and disinfection operations. On 14 July, the Minister of Emergency Situations headed to the affected area, according to information shared during a meeting at the ministry with representatives of DG ECHO.

RCSK Response
RCSK Disaster Management Department is monitoring the situation and maintaining close coordination with Nooken District Civil Protection Authority. The RCSK Jalal-Abad branch NRT has completed a rapid needs assessment, identifying 269 targeted households (83 HH with interior flooding and 186 vulnerable HH). NFI distribution is currently underway — hygiene kits, mattresses, and blankets are being distributed to the selected households.
The wave of fires in the Republic of Tunisia began on 1 June 2026, but reached a sharp peak from 12 July 2026 onward, continuing to the time of writing, coinciding with an exceptional heatwave in which temperatures reached close to 50°C in several governorates — including Kairouan, Jendouba, Gabès, Tozeur and Béja — while temperatures in the south-west reached around 49°C due to the hot, dry \"Chehili\" desert winds, according to the National Institute of Meteorology. The heatwave has been accompanied by strong winds and severe drought, triggering a wide series of forest and agricultural land fires, particularly in the mountainous and forested areas of the north and north-west of the country.
\nAccording to the latest official update, the total forest and agricultural area damaged by fire since the outbreak began has risen to around 12,000 hectares — a marked increase compared to earlier estimates of only 4,400 hectares as of 23 July 2026 (compared to 2,705 hectares over the same period in 2025) — reflecting the continued spread and intensification of the fires alongside the ongoing heatwave. Civil Protection also reported more than 35 forest fires between 1 June and 25 July 2026, while statistics show that forest areas damaged by fire over the past ten years totalled around 70,000 hectares (an annual average of about 7,000 hectares), underscoring the severity of the current season compared to the historical average. The Director General of Forests, Mohamed Naoufel Ben Haha, confirmed that the fires mainly affected cork-oak and Aleppo pine forests of significant social and economic importance to local forest communities, and that the situation in Le Kef governorate still requires continuous field vigilance.
\nAmong the most significant fires recorded, by way of illustration and not an exhaustive list: the Ghar El Melh and Rafraf fire in Bizerte governorate (around 300 hectares); the Cap Negro fire in the Nefza delegation of Béja governorate (around 300 hectares); the Saqiyat Sidi Youssef fire in Le Kef governorate, which burned around 2,000 hectares and whose effects are still being dealt with; a fire in the Zaghouan mountains (Jebel Chahma area) affecting around 1,300 hectares of forest and farmland; along with scattered fires in Jendouba (Ain Draham), Nabeul (Rafraf, Jebel Nadhour), Siliana, Sfax, Gafsa, Kebili, Mahdia, Tozeur, Kasserine, Sidi Bouzid, Manouba and Tunis. Given the continued evolution of the fires and their expanding geographic scope, a detailed, reliable breakdown of the areas damaged by governorate is no longer available at this stage; the adopted cumulative figure remains 12,000 hectares to date, and the detailed regional breakdown will be updated later in coordination with the Directorate General of Forests.
\nThe fires have also destroyed large numbers of fruit trees and hundreds of species of medicinal, cosmetic and aromatic herbs that thousands of residents in and around forested areas rely on gathering and selling as a primary or supplementary source of income, directly harming the livelihoods of these groups and deepening their economic vulnerability.
\nFirefighting operations have also become more difficult due to the rugged, mountainous terrain in many of the affected areas, the highly flammable nature of certain tree species such as Aleppo pine, and the continuing drought combined with the hot, dry \"Chehili\" winds — factors that together complicate the work of firefighting teams and increase the risk of fires reigniting and spreading further.
\nIn terms of intervention frequency, Civil Protection units recorded hundreds of interventions per day in recent days; within just 48 hours, close to 2,800 interventions were logged, covering around 600 fires (roughly one fire every 5 minutes), while 900 fires were recorded over 72 hours between 20 and 22 July, and 296 fires were recorded among 939 interventions within a single 24-hour period. The Directorate General of Forests, for its part, took part in 917 firefighting operations since the start of the season, compared to only 620 operations over the same period in 2025.
\nThe fires led to emergency evacuations of the population in several threatened areas (particularly in Bizerte and Jendouba), precautionary evacuation of sheep and livestock in the Siliana and Ain Draham areas, and material damage affecting a number of homes, wooden cabins, restaurants and beachfront tourist facilities in Bizerte (specifically Ghar El Melh and Rafraf), with no human casualties reported in official data as of the preparation of this document,except cases of smoke inhalation or limited skin burning. Based on the field assessment carried out by the Tunisian Red Crescent, the number of families affected by the electricity and water cuts accompanying the heatwave is 14,362.

The situation is part of a wider regional climate crisis impacting Central Asia, characterized by exceptionally high temperatures, prolonged dry conditions, and increasing pressure on water resources.
\nAccording to national hydrometeorological observations and regional climate monitoring data:
\nThe most affected areas are located in:
\nThese areas are characterized by arid climatic conditions, remote settlements, limited access to treated drinking water, and increased vulnerability to drought and heat-related health risks.
\nSeverity and Duration
\nThe heatwave has persisted for several consecutive weeks, with sustained temperatures above seasonal norms and little overnight cooling. The prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures, combined with deteriorating water availability, has significantly increased humanitarian risks.
\nKey indicators include:
\nThe situation continues to worsen as water resources become increasingly strained and vulnerable households exhaust their coping mechanisms.
\nTrigger for DREF Request
\nThe proposed trigger date is the onset of sustained extreme heat conditions starting from April 2026 and associated drought impacts in the targeted districts, marked by:
\nThe Turkmen Red Crescent Society will ensure that the DREF submission complies with the IFRC requirement that drought-related DREF requests are submitted within 21 days of the agreed trigger date.
\n2. Impact and Needs Analysis
\nEstimated Population Affected and Targeted
\nThe combined effects of heatwave conditions and hydrological drought are estimated to affect approximately 5,000 households (30,000 people) across the most affected districts in Balkan, Lebap, and Mary velayats.
\nThe Turkmen Red Crescent Society proposes to target the most vulnerable households in three priority districts:
\n| \n Velayat \n | \n\n Target District \n | \n\n Households \n | \n\n People \n | \n
| \n Mary \n | \n\n Uchajy \n | \n\n 100 \n | \n\n 500 \n | \n

| \n Total \n | \n\n | \n 300 \n | \n\n 1,500 \n | \n
These communities have been prioritized based on exposure to extreme heat, water shortages, limited coping capacities, and vulnerabilities identified through field observations and secondary data review.
