Description
People make their way through flooded streets near Guayaquil to receive humanitarian aid as heavy rains force many to flee their homes. A state of emergency has been declared in eight Ecuadoran provinces.
The houses downhill "are going to lose everything," says resident Abel Linda. "The water reaches a point where you just can't fight against nature," he adds.
Since the rains intensified in January, about 16,5000 people across the country have been affected, with 1,100 families forced to abandon their homes, according to local authorities. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
