| Comments: | Due to the heavy rainfalls in recent days, which varied between 160 and 200 mm in three days equalling to a normal monthly ratio, the southern and south-eastern parts of Albania have been hit by major floods, leading to the evacuation of some 850 families from their houses since Sunday, 1st February 2015 up to date.
The situation in Vlora and Fier, Berat, Elbasan and Gjirokaster districts is becoming increasingly critical. The heavy rains going on uninterrupted for almost five days have increased the levels of the Vjosa, Devoll, Osum and Seman rivers which have inundated their banks and caused huge flooding in several areas endangering also some major national highways. The rise of the rivers is threatening the nearby communes and villages especially in Levan, Darzeze, Fitore, Poro, Delisuf, Akerni, Novosele, Docove, Frakull, Bishan, Mifol, Ferras and UraVajgurore.
