CRS Response to the Earthquake in Ecuador
On April 16, a 7.8 magnitude eartquake struck coastal Ecuador. As of last Wednesday, over 500 people have died and hundreds are still missing. The tremor caused widespread damage not only to infrastructure but to thousands of homes - the worst disaster this country has seen in decades. CRS (Catholic Relief Services) is collaborating with the local church and our Caritas partners on the ground to assess where to respond and determine the most urgent needs. Regular updates on CRS' relief efforts in Ecuador are provided on their website
