\u201cSpecific areas in Durres and Thumana are still restricted due to military and special risk team interventions,\u201d says Altin Rexhepi, country director for ADRA in Albania. \u201cOur office is fortunately not affected and are safe.

ADRA has begun responding by providing mattresses, blankets, food and clean water for the communities of Roma and Thumana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Altin adds that it is very crucial to provide tents especially for the Roma community, as soon as possible. \u201cThey are not receiving any help from the government or any other institution but ADRA in Albania. Our team is still working to build a small camp for them.
