Persistent wildfires in Indonesia have generated toxic smog, leading to an estimated 175,000 people suffering from respiratory illnesses since August. The air quality across Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore has deteriorated to unhealthy levels due to the pervasive haze.

Authorities in Indonesia are working to address the ongoing crisis. The exact methods and progress of these efforts are detailed in reports from the BBC.
