Chile: el temporal en el norte ya dejó al menos diez muertos y más de 100 mil personas aisladas

Las lluvias extremas que castigan a las regiones de Atacama y Coquimbo provocaron severas inundaciones, destrozos e imponentes aludes de barro. El presidente José Antonio Kast declaró el estado de catástrofe ante la emergencia, mientras las Fuerzas Armadas realizan rescates en helicóptero en pueblos rurales colapsados.

Luis Toledo, a Mapuche man, collects timber from a sawmill processing pine and eucalyptus trees on territory reclaimed from forestry companies in Ercilla, Chile, December 27, 2021. Mapuche communities and Indigenous organizations estimate they occupy about 150,000 hectares in southern Chile, including Fundo Pidenco, a 2,500-hectare property owned by forestry company Arauco that has been occupied by Mapuche activists since 2016; nearly a decade after the occupation began, the property contains homes, livestock and cultivated fields, and residents say they are restoring and revitalizing the land. "This used to be a desert, but with everything we've done here we've been healing the earth, rebuilding and bringing it back to life," said werken or community spokesperson Orfelina Alcaman, 44, whose grandparents lived and worked there before it became industrial forestry land.
