The most affected areas include Béchar, Elbayadh, Beni Abbes, Tamanrasset, Tiaret, Tindouf, and Naama. The flooding, which began around September 5th, intensified by September 8th, displacing approximately 2,220 families, some of them from nomadic communities. In Béchar, the number of displaced families surged to 2,060, which were forced to evacuate. Roads and critical infrastructure, including 4 bridges, water, and electricity systems, were severely damaged in Béchar. Rescue operations have been carried out to save and evacuate individuals trapped by rising floodwaters. In Elbayadh, 60 families have been affected, and 34 houses were damaged as floods swept through remote areas. In Beni Abbes, rising water levels cut off major roads, and there is a high risk of house damage from the overflow of the rivers at the opening of the Bechar dam. Meanwhile, in Tamanrasset, 100 families from Nomads have been affected, with search and rescue operations ongoing for missing persons following heavy flooding. Tragically, the floods have claimed five lives, including four persons in Bechar and one person in Naama. ([IFRC, 22 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4095847))",

Additionally, 20 wildfires were contained (6 increase). A total of 46,197 families in 149 municipalities were attended to by MINDEF. ([PAHO, 25 Jul 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4081309))\n\nIn Bolivia, wildfires have devastated the eastern region, particularly affecting Chiquitano villages in Santa Cruz. Since early July, these fires have ravaged over 900,000 hectares, an area comparable to the entire state of New Jersey. Local communities, including Tuná and Cañón Verde, are struggling as the fires continue to threaten their homes and livelihoods. ([OCHA, 9 Aug 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4085232))\n\nAccording to data from the Heat Foci Monitoring System (SIMB), as of 10 September, more than 46,536 heat spots were registered, with 80% concentrated in Santa Cruz. [...] The severity of the situation led the government to declare a state of national emergency on 8 September (Supreme Decree No. 5219), due to the impact on the environment, public health, biodiversity, and the productive activities of the population. At least 54 municipalities were affected, of which 23 declared a state of disaster and 5 a state of emergency. [...] As of 16 September, 25,335 people (5,067 families) were officially reported by the Vice minister of Civil Defense as affected and according to the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) at least 124,000 exposed, although it is estimated that these figures could be higher due to difficulties in collecting data in remote areas. At least 60 homes were affected, and two deaths were reported. ([IFRC, 23 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4096190))",
