El Niño impacts 23 provinces, 32,700 people in Ecuador over two months

Ecuador's Risk Secretariat reports 648 adverse events linked to El Niño, affecting 23 provinces, 121 cantons, and 312 parishes, with nearly 32,700 people impacted by October 25. The scale of impact across multiple provinces suggests a significant climate-related emergency, though the report does not specify the nature of events (flooding, drought, etc.) or the full extent of damage. This underscores the ongoing vulnerability of the region to El Niño-driven weather extremes.
