More than 300 people were still missing on Tuesday as wildfires that ravaged central Chile for several days and killed 123 people appeared to be burning themselves out.
Authorities were assessing the damage after the fires in Valparaiso, said to be Chile’s deadliest disaster since an earthquake in 2010. Officials have suggested that some could have been intentionally set.
President Gabriel Boric, who visited the region on Tuesday, has said at least 3,000 homes burned as the fires spread quickly in dry weather and strong winds.
