"Dad, dad": Horror footage from Albania, children crying after earthquakes that took 6 lives

At least six people were killed in a strong earthquake that hit Albania this morning. Horror photos and videos are appearing on social networks in its aftermath - one of them showing children crying and calling to their parents.

The video, shared on social media, shows a boy in the arms of a man, with the debris all around them.

All of this is taking place in the dark as people around them are trying to light the area with flashlights, searching for the injured.

While the man is holding one boy in his arms, he seems to be talking to someone under the rubble, but it's not clear from the video if another child is trapped underneath.
