22 people have been arrested on suspicion of causing Algeria's most recent wildfires.
The fires were some of the most devastating wildfires in the country's history.
At least 65 people have died, including 28 soldiers who were deployed to battle the flames.
Dozens of forest fires have hit mountainous areas in northern part of the country this week.
Algeria's President, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, is blaming criminals for deliberately starting the fires.
Wildfires in Algeria killed at least 65 people, with residents fighting fires due to lack of water dumping planes.
