been left in the streets after the dormitory where they lived was
closed.

Mjaftoni Xhymertaj and her husband, both of them orphans, together with their young child, had been sheltered in the dormitory of the Technological School in Tirana, but not for much longer.

The head of the Orphan’s Association said that these people were evicted by the dormitory directors. He underlined that the Albanian state must intervene for this category of people.

The directors of high-school dormitories in Tirana explained for Top-Channel that the evicted persons do not have the orphan status and they have not paid the electricity.
