On the administrative units of Dajç and Ana e Malit in the municipality of Shkodra the water has completely retreated. This led to the withdrawal into their units of troops and vehicles of the 1st Infantry Battalion of Vau i Dejës and those of the Regional Support Battalion that helped the movement of the inhabitants for almost two months.

The National Civil Protection Agency, in cooperation with the prefect of the city, the municipality of Shkodra, and humanitarian organizations are still helping farmers affected by the floods.

Recently, 10 tons of bran concentrate were delivered, bringing it up to 50 tons the amount of fodder for livestock distributed during the last two months in the lower area of Shkodra.

Earlier, the Armed Forces transported from the State Material Reserves about 700 food packages, which, in coordination with the municipality of Shkodra, were distributed to families in dire need.

In addition to evacuating some families and livestock, the 1st Infantry Battalion also distributed water to residents.

The National Civil Protection Agency continues to coordinate with local government and humanitarian organizations to help the residents in the area cope as easily as possible with the damage caused by the floods.
