On Sunday, a magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck the coast of Ecuador. The death toll has soared to 246. At least 2.527 people were injured. The hardest-hit area was the coastal Manabi Province, where about 200 people died. The cities of Manta, Portoviejo, and Pedernales, a tourist destination, saw the most devastation but damage was widespread throughout the country.
It is very sad to see all these casualties resulting from this massive earthquake. Hopefully, surrounding nations and come together to support and help Ecuador while they try to recover from this awful event.
