Torrential rain overnight has caused significant flooding along the Ferizaj–Skopje road, making it extremely difficult for vehicles to travel.

The large amount of water that accumulated on the road has also hindered heavy vehicles, including trucks, which moved very slowly or became stranded while attempting to pass through flooded areas.

The underpass in Ferizaj has flooded as a result of the intense rainfall.

Footage recorded at the scene shows that the water reached high levels and covered the lanes, turning this section of the road into a hazardous area for all road users.

The flooding has caused traffic delays, while drivers are urged to exercise particular caution and, where possible, use alternative routes until the relevant services intervene to remove the water and restore normal traffic flow.

Hykmete Bajrami, an elected MP from the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), has called on the Government to respond urgently following the damage caused by hail in Istog and other parts of the country, urging compensation for the affected farmers.

Bajrami said the hailstorms flattened hundreds of hectares planted with agricultural crops and, in just a few minutes, destroyed months of farmers’ hard work.

In a Facebook post, she called on the executive to convene an emergency meeting and allocate funds to fully cover the damage. According to her, such action is the responsibility of the state, particularly since the Government had distributed hundreds of millions of euros for electoral purposes during the final week of the election campaign alone.

The elected MP also reiterated the LDK’s proposal to establish an agricultural insurance scheme so that farmers are not left unprotected and at the mercy of fate in the face of natural disasters every year. Bajrami stressed that concrete measures, rather than excuses, are now needed, adding that farmers must not be left on their own, as without them there can be neither agriculture nor food security.

Thousands have lost their homes as floods and landslides have struck large parts of the country, including the capital Dhaka.

Last week several students and a teacher were killed when floodwaters inundated their school.

The heavy rains started more than a week ago and, as they intensified in recent days, authorities issued flood and landslide warnings, evacuated families in high-risk areas and postponed student exams.

Thousands of people are now living in government shelters. According to authorities, since Sunday, more than 1 million people have been affected by the rain.

28 of the 51 deaths reported so far have occurred in Cox’s Bazar. The district is home to more than one million Rohingya who make up the world’s largest refugee settlement.
