ALAUSÍ , March 29 — Rescuers raced against time in southern Ecuador to find survivors of a weekend landslide that left at least eight people dead and more than 70 missing.
“My daughter is here, my granddaughter, my whole family,” Carlos Maquero told AFP among the ruins, desperate for a breakthrough.The same region was hit by an earthquake just over a week earlier in which 15 people were killed. Lasso held a meeting with local authorities and later tweeted the rescue efforts would go on “as long as is necessary.”The government opened three shelters for those affected by the landslide, which covered an area of more than 24 hectares.Alausi, a town of some 45,000 people surrounded by green hills, also saw several public buildings hit by the deluge, which damaged roads and closed schools.
