    Italy, Greece and Romania were the first responders, coincidentally my likely matches on 23andme...

    There was another quake today. A 5.6 magnitude. Croatia and surprisingly even Serbia are among rescue teams.

    "Teams from Italy, Greece, Romania, France, Switzerland, Turkey, Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Israel are helping with the search efforts.

    The largest deployment has come from the Kosovo Security Forces (KSF)."

    Is your family okay? I am reading we sent rescue dogs trained to find survivors under ruins, but unfortunately they found dead people too

    My family was fortunately safe, thank you for asking. Others not so much sadly. They are located further northeast closer to the border with North Macedonia. I think they were outside of the affected areas.

    Apparently these areas are located over small tectonic fault lines. The coasts especially. Durres itself had recorded major earthquakes back in the 1200s that devastated the area.

    Much thanks from our neighboors. Albanians most of the time keep wanking on Western countries but it was our Balkan neighboors who were the first to send help. Greece, Montenegro, Serbia were the first to help. Romania sent alot of help and the Romanian Orthodox Church organized a fundraiser as well.
    Other Albanians from Kosovo, North Macedonia also sent and still sending lot of help.
