(ANS - Manta) – The buildings of the San José Educational Unit in Manta have been severely affected by the earthquake that hit the provinces of Manabi, Esmeraldas and Los Ríos. After a check carried out by a group of technicians the decision was taken to demolish the building, which housed over 1,000 children, mostly from families of limited economic resources.
