Snow returns

According to the Civil Emergency Headquarter data, the snow has blocked the national roads once again, which were opened only yesterday. The authorities in Diber and Bulqize are working for opening the roads, while the residents of Martanesh, Ostren and Trebisht are seeking help, since their food reserves have ended and there are more health emergencies. The Situation in Diber is getting worse, after the temperatures fell to -16°C.

Most of Albania is covered by snow, but in the northern part, the snow thickness is still bringing traffic problems and many health emergencies. Dozens of villages in the northern part of the country remain blocked, especially in Tropoja, Has, Puka, Kukes, Malesi e Madhe, Diber and Mirdite.

In Puka there have been reports for the lack of drinking water. The same situation appears to be in Kukes, where all communes are isolated. The residents in Valbona have been living without electricity for the last five days. The situation in Malesia e Madhe, Vermosh and Dukagjin, remains the same. Hundreds of citizens are isolated among the snow, the thickness of which goes to three meters.

The heads of the communes appeal for food reserves. In Mirdite, Selita, Fan and the surrounding villages have been isolated, while other axes can be crossed partially and with tire chains. Teaching has been interrupted since February 1st. In Rreshen, the minimal temperature on Wednesday was minus 7 degrees.

There have been problems in Librazhd, where some communes have had no communication with the rest of the district, due to the blocked roads. Snowfalls have been registered in Korce, where there are no problems in the national roads. The Korce-Dardhe road has been blocked for six days. The worst situation has been in Lekas, which remains isolated for three weeks.
