Albanian earthquake relief assistance
On 26 November 2019, an earthquake struck the Durrës region of Albania, killing 51 people, injuring 3,000 others, and damaging 11,000 buildings.[1] Israel sent a rescue and service team from the regional council of Mevo'ot HaHermon and Home Front Command troops to Albania to search through the rubble for survivors and rescue them, assess whether buildings were structurally sound, and provide Albanians who had been evacuated from their homes with waterproof tents to shelter them.[2][3][4][1][5]

In the 2022 election, 53 percent of voters in the regional council voted for the parties of the center-left coalition led by Yair Lapid, while 47 percent voted for the parties of the right-wing coalition led by Benjamin Netanyahu and 0.1 percent voted for the Arab parties.[6]
