The Ministry of Defense issued an announcement this Monday regarding the situation in the country due to bad weather.
According to the announcement, the Shkodër region remains one of the most affected areas, where Obot and Dajçi continue to face rising water levels as a result of the Buna and Drin river flows, but also increases in the lake level. It is estimated that at least 500 hectares of agricultural land are still under water in these areas. The road axis that connects the village of Obot to the main road has water up to 120 cm, partially isolating the area. In the Dajç administrative unit, especially in the Urrelat–Shirq area, water has come out of the drainage canals, expanding the flooded areas.
In the Lezha region, the floods have mainly affected agricultural lands, where around 1,200 hectares of areas are reported to be under water, mainly in the Balldren and Zejmen areas. In Torovicë and Zejmen, the water withdrawal is happening at a slow pace. In the Kurbin Municipality, the water level has decreased in the most problematic areas such as Adriatik, Gjorm and Mamurras, while verifications of damage to homes, equipment and agricultural crops have continued, as well as the evacuation of livestock in certain areas.
The Vlora region is improving, with the water level of the Vjosa River in the Novosela area starting to drop. In the Selenice Municipality, problems from landslides continue in the village of Vajzë and on several rural road axes, where traffic is restricted. In the Himara Municipality, in the Qafë e Vishës area, the risk of falling stones on the road continues, requiring increased caution in traffic.
Korça is currently experiencing problems such as landslides, water and snow on several road axes. In the Municipality of Pogradec, landslides have been reported on segments of national and rural roads, as well as about 25 hectares of land with water. In the Municipality of Maliq, as a result of the breach of the Devoll River embankment, about 3,600 hectares of agricultural land have been flooded. In the Municipality of Devoll, after the breach of the Oshticë River embankment, about 270 hectares of land were flooded, but the breach has been closed and the situation has stabilized.
The Gjirokastër region continues to have problems scattered across several municipalities. In the Gjirokastër Municipality, the Qafës e Çajup road remains blocked, while work is underway to reinforce the Drino River embankment. In the municipalities of Libohëvo, Memaliaj, Përmet and Këlcyrë, numerous landslides have been reported that have blocked rural roads and endangered homes, necessitating temporary evacuations in several areas. Interventions continue depending on terrain conditions and the decrease in river flows.
The Ministry of Defense announces that the Armed Forces continue their commitment to supporting affected communities, especially in areas with flooding and isolation. Residents of affected areas are urged to exercise maximum caution, avoid moving to areas at risk of flooding, landslides and frost, and follow the instructions of civil emergency structures, in order to protect life and property.
According to meteorological forecasts, a gradual decrease in flows in most rivers is expected in the coming hours and days, but low temperatures and frost, especially in mountainous areas, will continue to require increased caution and continuous monitoring of the situation.
