At least 13 people have died in Ecuador - while a four-year-old girl has died in Peru - after a 6.8 magnitude earthquake hit the region.

The quake was centred just off Ecuador's Pacific Coast, around 50 miles (80km) south of the city of Guayaquil, according to the US Geological Survey.

It was also felt as far away as northern Peru, where the country's Prime Minister, Alberto Otárola, said a four-year-old girl had died after the roof of her home collapsed in the Tumbes region - on the border with Ecuador
