Tirana City Hall approves compensation for 507 families

The story of this city seems to be not one or two times it falls, but 100 times it will fall back on its feet. So I believe that the challenge of recovering over 500 damaged houses is several times greater than September 21st, but also great comfort, at least for Tirana, since we were spared by people's lives, we could give them courage to say: It's bad, but it's worse. Now that we have life to focus on helping our brothers in Durres and Thumma, and once the rescue is over, I'll worry about every tile, plate, brick we have to decide. The most important decision for today is a decision for 507 families that have been affected by the September 21st earthquake, but also today's earthquake. It turns out that the typeology of households that were then again touched today because those same houses were built that way, the same way, in those hills and difficult places in the peripheral Tirana in the same mud in a place that had fallen the roof today had completely fallen”, Veliaj said.

He also made it known that other families whose homes were completely destroyed and became uninhabitable by the September earthquake will soon enter new residences. “While about 59 families that were already destroyed today actually the new house or the house under construction stood up and I believe that starting this weekend 59 families will be introduced into new homes that were made by Tirana City Hall and the Donors' community”, Veliaj said.
