Indonesia's fire haze is now a health emergency in all but name. The Health Ministry counted 283,270 acute respiratory infections in fire-hit areas between August 18 and October 13. A coalition of civil society groups, Sustainabilitas, is calling on the government to declare a national disaster.
Jakarta hasn't. More than 60,000 firefighters and other personnel have been deployed, but El Niño dryness and land-clearing by fire keep the blazes going, and cloud seeding and water drops have had limited effect. Smoke has reached Singapore and Malaysia.

The haze over Southeast Asia is now a diplomatic issue. Indonesia's foreign minister, Arrmanatha Nasir, says Jakarta has shared all its fire data with ASEAN and "consistently met all reporting requirements". Hotspot numbers are falling every day, he says.
The regional weather centre has had its top Level 3 haze alert on since August 26. Malaysia praises Indonesia's firefighting but wants tougher action on the ground, as bad air disrupts daily life across the border. Kuala Lumpur will raise it with ASEAN foreign ministers before November's summit in Manila. Singapore says it is ready to help.

Smoke from forest fires in Indonesia has spread across Southeast Asia as a toxic haze. Malaysia and Singapore are also affected: the poor air quality is disrupting daily life, schools and businesses.
