A British teenager is fighting for her life after a serious car accident while she was on holiday in Albania.

Eighteen-year-old Pamela Mema was travelling to celebrate her sister’s 24th birthday in Belsh when she was involved in the crash.

She was rushed to hospital and is now fighting for her life in a medically induced coma.

The Mema family have started a GoFundMe appeal to try and raise enough money to bring her back to the UK for further treatment.

The write up states: “On the 22nd November 2024, our beautiful, intelligent, and strong Pamela Mema got into a car accident in the village of Belsh, Albania, on the way to celebrate her sister's 24th birthday.

“Since the 22nd Pamela has been fighting for her life In the hospitals of Albania.”

The GoFundMe has so far raised more than £75,000.

The organisers have put up a £100,000 goal.

The write up adds: “We now urgently have to bring Pamela back home to London, so she can get the best medical care she needs with the doctors we trust and put our confidence in with an air ambulance.

“Pamela is only 18 with her whole life ahead of her and any donations are hugely appreciated to bring our Pam home and for her to get the best care possible.”

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has been contacted for comment.
