Milagro, the 'miracle' baby born just hours before Ecuador earthquake | UNICEF
Up to 100 babies on average are born every day in Esmeraldas and Manabí, the provinces worst hit by the Ecuador earthquake. Milagro was born just hours before the earthquake hit and survived with her mother.
The April 16 earthquake killed 660 people, destroyed water systems and affected 33 health centres, half of which are not operational. An immediate response led by the Government is allowing 75 per cent of children to return to school and providing an integrated response to over 30,000 people living in official shelters, including basic assistance, medical and psychological support.
