Albanian Prime Minister Eddie Rama announced today that 40 people have been killed since the bodies of six were found in Tuman, northwest of the country and two more in Durres, 33 kilometers west of Tirana, as AP reports.
More than 650 people were injured in an earthquake reaching 6.4 magnitude on the Richter scale. Authorities said a rescue operation in Tumane has ended and it is believed that no more people are buried beneath the rubble of the collapsed buildings.
The rescue operation in Durres has continued.
Montenegro, Serbia, Kosovo, Croatia, Italy, Greece and many other European countries have offered help and assistance to Albania after it was struck by a major earthquake this morning that has left at least 15 dead. https://t.co/q8vttmCp9E
Balkan states show solidarity after the earthquake that hit Albania
The Italian daily "La Repubblica" has noted that this disaster has united the Balkan states, which are otherwise entering into conflicts on various issues.
Although there are divisions and friction among these countries, the Italian daily writes, Albania is said to be an example of pain bringing people together.
Montenegro, Serbia, Kosovo, Croatia, Italy, Greece and many other European countries have offered help and assistance to Albania after it was struck by a major earthquake.
Almost all Albanian media published a photo of Kosovo security forces and rescue team members from Serbia holding hands in search of survivors of the Tumane ruins.
The scene, they say, destroys the soul, but at the same time "inspires hope". "This once again shows that pain unites us despite the created barriers and divisions", Albanian media reported.

I just want to say thank you Serbia!
The Serbian rescue team are brave and it was a great gesture what you did!
It's so sad that politics and bad history have ruined our relationship so much, there have been too much bad blood between us, but as an Albanian what you did today was a beautiful and warm gesture. Much love and much respect to Serbia and it's people and not the least the brave serbian rescue team and the serbian men and women who helped Albanians after the Earthquake.
We are all Humans and we are all balkan neighbours. And we have all lived together side by side for a very long time. We are all people of the balkans!
Hugs and Kisses from Albania :)
May Love and Peace prevail so our generations can live in harmony!

Of all nations involved in pledging assistance to Albania I must admit that it's thoughtful of Serbia to get involved.
