In Albania, the flood situation remains critical.

Gjirokastra is the most affected by the floods. 70 businesses, many houses and vehicles were destroyed in the “18 September” neighborhood. The almost apocalyptic scenes with masses of inerts and stones on the streets and shops are the result of the massive flooding of rivers and streams.

At least 800 flooded homes and 304 people evacuated, is the preliminary balance of the floods in Durrës.

One day after the heavy rains, the situation in Durrës seems calmer, but the situation remains problematic in some areas of the city, mainly in the suburbs. Even in Durrës prison, the situation remains problematic. The yard and the first floor of the building have a high presence of water. Lessons are not taking place even today in some schools whose courtyards are under water.

During the night in Lezhë there was less rain, but today the situation is more problematic in Laç. Several families have been evacuated and many houses are surrounded by water.

The level of the Vjosa river has reached 7.2 meters above sea level and is approaching the critical point. It is reported that he got out of bed in the shopping area near the Mifoli bridge.

The situation is quite serious in some deep areas of Kuka Municipality, where a large number of villages continue to be blocked as a result of bad weather and massive landslides. The most serious situation is reported in the Zapot administrative unit, where the three roads connecting this area with the city of Kukës are completely blocked./TCH/
