New York (PTI): A United Nations team is carrying out a rapid evaluation this weekend of the situation in Albania in the aftermath of deadly explosions which forced thousands of people to evacuate Gerdec.
The seven-member team of the UN Disaster and Assessment Coordination (UNDAC) which arrived in Tirana, earlier this week, is reviewing the situation in Albania, where a series of explosions at a military ammunition depot have killed 21 people.
Albania has sought UN help to identify priority needs and coordinate their response to the explosions, which occurred on March 15 during an ongoing programme to destroy old military ordnance at a depot in the village of Gerdec. (Hindu)
