Residents clean shrimp to sell one week after the devastating earthquake on the outskirts of Pedernales, Ecuador, Saturday, April 23, 2016. The earthquake damage has added to the already heavy economic hardships being felt in this OPEC nation because of a collapse in world oil prices. Before the quake, Ecuador was bracing for a bout of austerity, with the IMF forecasting the economy would shrink 4.5 percent this year. (Photo by Rodrigo Abd/AP Photo)
