Chile on Thursday declared a swath of the country, including the capital, a disaster zone after a storm left one person dead and displaced some 4,300.
The zone ranges from the region of Coquimbo, located to the north of Santiago, to Nuble in the south-central part of the country.
About 2,300 homes have been damaged by the rains and floods. The town of Curanilahue, some 600 km south of Santiago in the Biobio region, was almost entirely inundated after surrounding rivers burst their banks. (Str/Xinhua)
