Firefighters extracted this injured man from the rubble in Thumane
Rescuers are scrambling to find survivors under the rubble of buildings in Albania, where a strong earthquake has killed 24 people and injured 650.
The magnitude-6.4 tremor struck 34km (21 miles) north-west of the capital, Tirana, as people slept in their beds during the early hours of Tuesday.
Most of the deaths occurred in the coastal city of Durres and the town of Thumane, close to the epicentre.
Hundreds spent the night in tents, some slept in cars, as aftershocks continue.

Prime Minister Edi Rama promised that rescuers would "continue to search patiently and thoroughly to the end".
The government has declared Wednesday a day of mourning.
The European Commission said it had deployed rescue teams from Italy, Greece and Romania to help with the search efforts, while teams were also sent from Kosovo and Montenegro.
Tuesday's earthquake is the strongest to hit Albania in decades.
How bad was the quake?
It struck at 03:54 (02:54 GMT) and was followed by powerful aftershocks.
In Thumane, a five-storey apartment building collapsed.
Dulejman Kolaveri, a man in his 50s, said he feared his 70-year-old mother and six-year-old niece were trapped inside because they had lived on the top floor.
"I don't know if they are dead or alive," he told AFP news agency, his hands shaking. "I'm afraid of their fate. Only God knows."
A 24-year old was the latest to be brought alive just after night fell on Tuesday.
But a 30-year-old woman died hours after being pulled alive. Her daughter had died under the rubble.
A few of the deaths are from neighbouring Kosovo, which is also observing a day of national mourning on Wednesday.

Hundreds of people spent the night in tents - or cars, fearing another tremor. Some 250 aftershocks have been recorded since Tuesday's earthquake.
In Durres, a woman called Bukuri Morina and her family of 10 joined thousands of others to spend the night at the football stadium.
"We are afraid to go back to our apartment," she told Reuters news agency.
"There are cracks all over and we are afraid that we will have the same destiny as people in Thumane."
One man who died was caught in a car accident when the quake tore open parts of a road.
Another man died after jumping from a window in panic after the tremor struck.
All festivities coinciding with Albania's independence day on Thursday have been cancelled.
Are earthquakes common in Albania?
The Balkans is in an area prone to seismic activity.
In 1979, a magnitude-6.9 quake hit Albania leaving 136 dead and more than 1,000 injured.
