The death toll from Ecuador's earthquake was set to rise sharply after authorities warned that 1,700 people were still missing and anger gripped families of victims trapped in the rubble.
Some 1,700 people are still missing three days after a big earthquake struck Ecuador, an official said on Tuesday, raising fears that a death toll currently put at 480 could dramatically rise.
The death toll from Ecuador's biggest earthquake in decades soared to at least 233 on Sunday as rescuers using tractors and bare hands hunted desperately for survivors in shattered coastal towns.
