North Macedonia: Floods - Jan 2026

The floods signicantly disrupted lives, well-being, livelihoods and infrastructure, with households reporting loss of food stocks, damage to essential household goods, contamination of water sources and increased health risks linked to damp living conditions and poor sanitation. Damage to roads and drainage systems further constrained access to services and delayed recovery, particularly for households unable to self-recover without external support. (IFRC, 23 Feb 2026)
