Father recounts the tragedy of the girl who drowned with her cousin: She begged me insistently to go to the beach with her aunt; for the first time I let her. Sister-in-law in shock, family appeals for help

A summer day turned into a tragic end to the lives of two minor girls, just 9 and 11 years old, who went into the sea to swim without knowing they would be their final moments.

The serious incident happened at midday on Friday, June 19, at Tales beach in Lezhë, where the waves took the lives of the two children, leaving behind deep pain, tears, and many unanswered questions.

On the show “Me Zemër të Hapur” on News 24, with author and host Evis Ahmeti, the parents shared their touching account of the heaviest loss a family can experience. They also have three other children and live in extremely difficult economic conditions, facing extreme poverty.

Overcome by strong emotions and a pain that does not fade, they spoke about the day that changed their lives forever.

It is a story that shocks and invites reflection, but above all it is a human drama of two children who left this world far too early.

“The minors were my aunt’s daughter. The girl begged me a lot that day to go. I had never let her go before; it was the first time.

The parents of the 9-year-old, the other minor, are in shock. The girls went in without telling anyone; the girl’s aunt was with her.

When it happened I was in Durrës, they informed me that the girls were not well. My sister-in-law was with her husband,” he said.

In addition to the great pain it carries, the family is also facing severe economic difficulties and unsuitable living conditions. Amid this tragedy, an appeal for help has also been made in support of the three other children, who continue their lives facing major challenges.
