A devastating wildfire in Quito has led to the displacement of residents and prompted Ecuador's President to cut short his visit to the United Nations in New York to address the crisis at home. The fire has engulfed entire neighborhoods of the capital city, leaving many families homeless and in distress.
One resident, Maria Sarango, shared her heartbreaking experience of losing everything in the fire, including her home and possessions. She described the scene as 'terrible' and recounted the challenges faced in evacuating her elderly mother, who is 95 years old and unable to walk.
