At least 112 killed in Chile forest fires

At least 112 people were killed in Chile as intense forest fires triggered a state of emergency

In central Chile, devastating forest fires have claimed the lives of at least 112 people, leaving entire neighborhoods reduced to ashes. 

As firefighters struggle to contain the fires, President Gabriel Boric has issued a warning, describing the situation as a “tragedy of very great magnitude.”

The wildfires have plunged Chile into a state of emergency, with widespread devastation and a rising death toll. 

The toll is expected to climb further as hundreds of people remain missing, and recovery efforts reveal more bodies amidst the charred remnants of hillsides and homes engulfed by the blazes.

As Chile confronts this crisis, the world watches with a collective sense of solidarity and concern. 

The international community’s response will be crucial in supporting the affected population, rebuilding communities and addressing the underlying challenges associated with wildfires in an era of climate uncertainty.
