On 26 November 2019, Albania was hit by its most deadly earthquake in a century. The earthquake measured 6.4 on the Richter scale and caused significant casualties, resulting in 51 deaths, over 1000 injured, and nearly 14,000 people displaced, as well as widespread damage to public and private property. To measure and assess the economic damage, a Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) was jointly conducted by the European Union, the UN and the World Bank Group, estimating the total economic losses at nearly $1B. The PDNA documented the destruction of public and private infrastructure. Of particular concern was the impact to cultural heritage monuments and property, with 53 cultural heritage properties significantly damaged by the earthquake
