Forest fires have broken out in several parts of Lebanon, destroying woodland and damaging houses.
Fifteen people have been injured in the blazes, an official in Deir al-Qamar, south-east of Beirut, said.
Fire-fighters backed by Lebanese Air Force helicopters have been deployed in the north of the country.
Fires are also raging in Qobeyat and Andaqt, emergency officials say. Some schools have been forced to close.
