Death Toll of Natural Disaster in Chile Ascends to 29

Santiago de Chile, Apr 21 (Prensa Latina) The death toll as a result of heavy rains that hit northern Chile in March rose today to 29, as per the report released by the National Emergency Office (Onemi).

The entity also reported that 57 people remain missing, and the number of victims was set at 29,739, of which 1,171 are distributed in 18 shelters.

The climate disaster damaged significantly the northern regions of Coquimbo, Antofagasta and Atacama, reporting in the latter the largest number of victims and affected.

The state of catastrophe exception was held for the communities of Antofagasta and Taltal, and the Atacama region, Onemi reported.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health held a health alert for the communes of Copiapo, Chañaral, Caldera, Tierra Amarilla, Diego de Almagro, Alto del Carmen, Freirina, Huasco and Vallenar in Atacama.

The President of Chile, Michelle Bachelet, signed a bill that will provide $500 million in 2015 to finance rebuilding in the two regions, greatly afflicted by the hydro meteorological event.

Difficult situations such as those in the north of our country, require the state and society to make extraordinary efforts, she said.

We have to respond quickly to the needs of those who expect our action to begin normalizing their lives, said the President after signing the bill sent to Congress.

Bachelet said that with the money provided the challenge of construction, reconstruction, replacement, remodeling, restoration and rehabilitation of damaged infrastructure and facilities may be addressed.
