Albanians around the world are raising funds to help those affected by the November 26 earthquake in Albania. Many countries have come to the aid of the people of Albania.


 

There are tens of thousands of Albanians living in Australia making a daily contribution. The Australian state itself is recognized for its humanitarian assistance to countries in the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East and Africa.

Should Australia help Albania in these difficult times?

 

We interviewed Erik Shaip Lloga, who holds the  Order of Australia Medal for Humanitarian Service.

 

Erik Shaip Lloga OAM: "due to the circumstances of the Albanian people after the earthquake, the Albanian community in Australia is entitled and should ask the Australian Government to provide its assistence to the Albanian people."
