Berti Lala, 40, watched Italian rescue officers in the search for his twin son and daughter, barely two, his boy of six, his wife and paralysed older brother. They were all on the second floor of a collapsed four-storey house, built in reclaimed marshland in Durres, Albania's main port.

Two donor conferences have been mentioned and a wave of solidarity has spread in the Albanian Diaspora.
