The UAE rescue team is continuing its efforts to battle wildfires spreading across several parts of Albania, in coordination with relevant authorities in the country.
This comes as part of the UAE’s ongoing support for international humanitarian missions and its commitment to strengthening rapid response to natural disasters worldwide, reflecting its deeply rooted humanitarian approach based on solidarity and international cooperation.
The team has intensified its field operations, carried out under the directives of UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan using the latest equipment to ensure the fires are brought under control and to prevent their recurrence.
The UAE began its firefighting operations last Monday with the arrival of joint aircraft and a specialised team, which has conducted dozens of aerial sorties over the past days, deploying thousands of kilograms of water.
The wildfires began on August 5, spreading due to extreme heatwaves, prolonged drought and strong winds.
