The death toll from the 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Ecuador has risen to 413, and many survivors are believed to still be trapped inside collapsed buildings.
The earthquake struck on Saturday evening near Muisne, about 100 miles from the capital, Quito. Since then more than 300 aftershocks recorded and the Spanish Red Cross says as many as 100,000 people may need assistance.
The charity estimates that 3,000 to 5,000 people needed temporary housing. About 800 volunteers and staff members with the Ecuadorian Red Cross were involved with search and rescue operations and helping provide first aid.
