Forest fires in Indonesia have triggered a regional air quality crisis, causing pollution levels in parts of Singapore to reach a very high band on Wednesday. The resulting haze has also impacted East Timor, where authorities have responded by closing schools to protect students from the poor air quality.
The fires, which have burned hundreds of thousands of hectares, are currently affecting residents across the region. The situation remains a significant concern as the smoke continues to spread, prompting cross-border health and safety measures.
