Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama said on Sunday that he had turned to the international community for financial and expert aid to help the country recover from a devastating earthquake, the Associated Press reports.

Rama noted that the government is redistributing the budget to cope with the crisis, but the country also needs international assistance.
