The situation in Gramsh is escalating towards a serious humanitarian and environmental emergency, while the fires that have engulfed several villages in the administrative units continue to spread rapidly, leaving behind extensive damage and injured residents.
In the village of Skënderbegas, one of the hardest-hit areas, a complete evacuation order has been issued, as the flames have come dangerously close to homes.
However, the situation is made even more dramatic by the refusal of some residents to leave, who are trying, amidst tears, to save what they can from their burning houses.
" We're not leaving, we have our lives here," they are heard saying, overcome with despair.
The fires have left residents injured, while firefighters have been unable to enter critical areas due to thick smoke and giant flames, which have made intervention from the ground impossible. Authorities are on full alert and have requested additional air support, while the Armed Forces and Civil Protection have been engaged with all their capacities to cope with this dramatic situation. The situation is also critical in the surrounding villages, where every minute matters to save lives, homes and land. Meanwhile, calls for help from residents on social media and communications with authorities are increasing by the hour
