Semani and Shkumbini rivers overflow, flooding lands and homes; evacuation of
Bad weather floods village in Lushnje

For several days, Albania has been hit by bad weather, which has caused problems in some of the country's regions, while hundreds of homes have been flooded.

While authorities on the one hand have begun assessing the damage caused by the floods, on the other hand it appears that the overflowing of riverbeds has created another flash flood.

According to the latest reports, the Semani River has overflowed its banks in the village of Murriz, while water has flooded towards homes. However, there are reports of water only in the yards of some homes and not water entering them.

The Seman River has flooded hundreds of hectares of agricultural land within the embankments in Roskovec–Patos and Fier.

Likewise, the Shkumbin River has overflowed its banks, threatening to flood at least 20 homes in the village of Thanasaj.

Emergency teams are reviewing options for evacuating residents in the most at-risk homes in this village.
