Millions of Indonesians are at risk of respiratory problems due to thick haze caused by El Niño-fueled wildfires burning over 200,000 hectares of land, an area three times the size of Jakarta. The fires have engulfed several cities and towns across Borneo and Sumatra, leading to an increase in respiratory disease cases and school closures. The Indonesian Ministry of Health warns that up to 3.4 million people are at risk of health complications from exposure to the haze.
