Indonesia battles worst wildfires in years as haze chokes Singapore
Original: Indonesia is tackling its worst wildfires in years, and the resulting haze is choking neighboring countries like Singapo
Indonesia is fighting its most severe wildfires in years, with smoke from the fires drifting across borders and blanketing neighbouring countries, including Singapore, in hazardous haze. The pollution is disrupting daily life in the region and drawing attention to Indonesia's annual burning of land for agriculture. Neighbours have repeatedly criticised Jakarta over the transboundary haze, which tends to worsen during dry seasons.
Why now: Fresh wildfires have pushed haze across national borders, affecting air quality and daily life in Singapore and nearby countries.
