Although the situation today has improved compared to the past few days, there are still problems in the regions of Shkodër, Durrës, Lezhë, Gjirokastër, Dibër and Berat.

In Shkodra, the increase in the levels of the Drin, Kir and Buna rivers has led to flooding in several areas, while in Durrës over 5 thousand homes have been verified, with damage found in 1,711 of them and the evacuation of 851 people.

Flooding problems are also reported in Lezha, Berat and Elbasan, while in Gjirokastër and Dibër, work is underway to clear road axes from landslides.

In Shkodër County , the increase in the levels of the Drin, Kir and Bunë rivers has caused flooding in the territory of the Shkodër Municipality, mainly in the administrative units of Ana e Malit and Dajç.
