Sharjah24 – Reuters: The mayor of Ecuador's capital Quito revised the number of people missing after a landslide on Monday from 12 to 6, although rescue work was still going on Wednesday, while the death toll stood at 24.
Ecuador's worst rains in nearly two decades overwhelmed a dam near the working class neighbourhoods of La Gasca and La Comuna, sending mud and rocks down on residences and streets.
According to authorities, the number of injured has increased to 52 and repair work will begin on dozens of affected homes.
