El Comercio (Ecuador) reports the Ecuadorian armed forces are in charge of relief efforts for families displaced by flooding along the coast. The military and Directorate of Health have sent 74 teams in to prevent the outbreak of disease, especially Dengue and malaria. Four cantons of Guayas have been flooded, with heavy rains falling in 28 others. Two people are reported dead. The Banco Internacional de Reconstrucción y Fomento (BIRF) has loaned Ecuador $60 million to deal with El Nino, to be repaid over 17 years, with five years of grace.
