Initially, Himara Police services and firefighting forces went to provide assistance, but the very difficult terrain made it impossible for them to extract them.

Later, FNSH officers, mountaineers, and the Armed Forces helicopter also arrived in the area; however, the rescue operation remains extremely difficult.

Work has continued throughout the day to evacuate them, but so far it has still not been possible to remove the tourists from the ravine.

After rescue teams intervened, the injured person was transported out of the canyon on a stretcher and was then taken to Himara Hospital to receive the necessary medical assistance.

The operation involved Himara fire services, the Himara Police Commissariat, Dhërmi Border Police forces and the emergency team from Himara Hospital, who coordinated their actions to successfully complete the intervention in an area with limited access and rugged terrain.

Similar incidents have also been recorded before in Gjipe Canyon because of the difficult relief and limited access to the area.
