This is one of the many collapsed houses along the shore of the island of Muisne a couple days after
the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake. Immediately after the earthquake, the entire island was
evacuated for fear of a large tsunami. Unfortunately, thieves stayed behind and robbed whatever
remains that weren't destroyed by the earthquake. This is one of the poorest area of Ecuador, so
this is a double whammy for the already poor people.

As I walked the shoreline, I've seen many family members digging with their hands underneath the
rubble to see if they can salvage anything of value.
