The soil of Albania, four days after the devastating earthquake, which was followed by 1.000 medium and weaker earthquakes, has finally started to calm down, reports Tanjug.
Seismologist Edmond Nushi, from the Albanian Institute of Geology, says that aftershocks are becoming rarer and weaker.
According to him, the overall seismic activity is going towards calming down.
In the devastating earthquake that hit parts of Albania on Tuesday, 49 people died, while more than 750 were injured.
Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama announced that today domestic and foreign experts will begin work on the damage assessment.
He also said, at the extraordinary session of the government, that so far five million euros and more than one million dollars have been donated from donations for earthquake recovery and assistance to the vulnerable, but that this is not the final amount.
Rama announced that the tents set up in Tuman and Lač will be removed, and the families will be accommodated in hotels.
However, residents of nearby villages do not want to go to hotels, because, as Rama said, they want to stay in tents to take care of their herds.
Rama confirmed that 49 people, including children, have officially died so far. The search for survivors was suspended yesterday in Tuman, and then in Durres.
"1.260 people are accommodated in Durres district, of which 625 are in hotels and 360 in school gymnasiums. The rest are in tents or with relatives. In Tuman, about 500 people are accommodated in tents and they will be accommodated in hotels today," he said. is Rama, Albanian media reported.
According to him, 3.480 people were left homeless in Tirana district. In Durrës, Rama said, 701 damaged buildings were registered, of which 12 were completely destroyed, and 176 were damaged.
In Tirana, 15 buildings were completely destroyed, 239 were damaged, and eight buildings were unusable. Subsequently, the government also declared a state of emergency in the city of Lač, which, as it turned out, was also heavily damaged by the powerful earthquake on November 26.
