Vardar Overflows Near Greek Border
The Vardar River is overflowing near Mici, located on the very border between Macedonia and Greece. Macedonia's largest river already flooded farmland near the village of Mrzenci. The town of Gevgelija is not under threat, with the cold weather reducing the melting process of the snow on Nidze Mountain.
In Prilep, the regional crisis management center said that five villages that were affected by the floods are still without drinking water and are supplied with bottled water delivered by trucks. Around 20 of the most affected families are receiving humanitarian aid.
In the eastern parts of Macedonia, the Istibanja-Makedonska Kamenica road remains closed for traffic, after rainfalls caused several landslides. Road crews are working on clearing up the road, but engineers estimate that it is still dangerous to allow even vehicles on one lane. Some of the most dangerous rocks that have loosened will need to be torn down before traffic would be allowed on the road again.
