Durrës (Albania) (AFP) – The search for survivors of a deadly Albanian earthquake was called off on Saturday as eight family members, including four children, killed in the port of Durres were laid to rest. “Rescue operations have ended,” Prime Minister Edi Rama told a cabinet meeting while struggling to hold back tears as he read the victims’ names. The damage was the worst in Durres, on the Adriatic coast, and the nearby town of Thumane, where scores of people were trapped beneath the wreckage of apartment buildings and hotels.
