Chile Rocked by New Earthquakes

On March 11, Chile was rocked by three more earthquakes: a 7.2 magnitude near O’Higgins followed by two quakes, 6.9 and 6.0 magnitude, southwest of Santiago.

Working through the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Chile and other community-based partners, ELCA Disaster Response is there, assessing the most urgent needs. Your gifts are needed today to bring help to our brothers and sisters in Chile.
