Turkey begins building new homes for the 2019 Albania earthquake victims

The groundbreaking ceremony was held on Wednesday to build 522 housing units by the Turkish Housing Development Administration (TOKI) in the Albanian town of Lak. Housing will be allocated to people who lost their homes in two earthquakes in September and November 2019.

“They will be a new symbol of Turkish-Albanian friendship,” President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said via a video link to the ceremony in Albania, which was attended by Minister of Environment and Urban Development Murat Corum and Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama.

The project, which will cost around 42 million euros ($ 51 million), includes 37 commercial units and parking garages for 375 cars.

Fifty-one people were killed and more than 900 injured in a magnitude 6.3 earthquake in November 2019. It was preceded by a less powerful earthquake in September. The town of Lak was among the most affected areas, with most of its houses severely damaged.

International aid poured into the country, which witnessed the last major earthquake in 1979. Turkey hosted the Donor Aid Conference in December 2019. It also sent a plane carrying search and rescue crews as well as emergency humanitarian aid such as food, hygiene kits, tents and blankets in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. More aid was subsequently sent by the Turkish Red Crescent (Kizilay), the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) and the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA).

At the ceremony, Erdogan said that Turkey was mobilized to help Albania, “Turkey’s close friend and partner in the Balkans.” He said, “We see the joy of the Albanian people as our joy, and their sorrow is our grief.”

We hope to complete the construction and hand over new homes to our brothers and sisters who lost their homes in the earthquake. “I think that under the leadership of my friend Edi Rama, we will soon completely erase the effects of this disaster,” Erdogan said.
