What's happening

Forest and peatland fires on Borneo and Sumatra have intensified in Indonesia, causing dangerous haze that affects Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, with fires burning since August amid an El Nino-driven drought. Authorities have been unable to extinguish the blazes as of late October, and an oxygen bus is offering free breathing support to residents in the city of Palangkaraya.

Corroboration under way

One piece is missing to confirm

Several newsrooms describe the same fact, which is enough to publish it — not to confirm it. We are looking for an official source, another media family, or a witness on the ground.

Your description stays private — only the type and the area can appear, and only if other witnesses confirm.

What's missing to corroborate

  • An official source (local authority, prefecture, ministry)
  • A third independent newsroom
  • A witness on the ground to pin the exact area
