The balance sheet grows heavier in Kabylia, a region of northern Algeria, ravaged by flames since Monday. Authorities say at least 71 people have died. In Reims, the diaspora is mobilizing to come to the aid of the populations on the spot.
The Amazigh association, literally Berber, posted a social media post yesterday to announce the launch of a fundraiser yesterday. On the jackpot, 500 euros have already been paid. “The association has also advanced 1000 euros of its cash, given to our relays in Algiers so that they buy medical equipment and transport it to the north of the country “, explains Hnia Ait Hammar, the president.
“According to the information which comes to us from our relatives on the spot, it lacks especially dressings, compresses and bands”, she continues. It also warns about the shortages to be expected: “in pharmacies in Algiers, we soon no longer find biafine or painkillers for example.”

For the moment, the village, where Hnia Ait Hammar is from, has been spared by the flames. “Through the members of the association, we have relays in almost the entire region. We know that there are a lot of people missing. We have members who are affected very closely, villages 80% ravaged. We suffer from afar and we feel helpless“she confides, her voice trembling on the end of the phone.
The association is also considering continuing its mobilization ” the time it will take “to help rebuild villages.
