In the rural areas of Milagro, Ecuador, families from the Cachotes and Chontilla sectors have received humanitarian assistance after heavy flooding caused by the rainy season. The aid distribution was organized by the National Risk Management Secretariat amid a red alert that has been declared in the canton. Reports indicate that the floods have affected homes, leading to significant losses of belongings due to water entering residences.

While assistance is being provided in rural areas, urban centers continue to experience severe mobility issues due to flooded streets. The Zonal Coordination 5 and 8 of ECU 911 have reported ongoing challenges in the city, with several intersections remaining submerged. Key intersections reported include Calderón and Miguel Valverde, Chile and García Moreno, and others, which are causing disruptions in daily life and transport for residents.

The situation in Milagro underscores the challenges faced by communities during the rainy season, particularly in terms of infrastructure resilience and disaster preparedness. As families begin to recover from the immediate impacts of flooding, authorities are likely to assess longer-term strategies for managing flood risks and supporting affected communities in rebuilding their lives and homes.
