PPM Disaster Response: Chile Wildfire
A series of wildfires are consuming a large swath of land in the South American country of Chile. The devastating wildfires tearing across large parts of Chile are believed to be the country’s deadliest on record, according to the United Nations disaster agency, as firefighters struggle to contain more than 160 blazes after days of burning.
The fires have claimed at least 123 lives and hundreds of people are still missing, according to Chilean authorities. Authorities estimate that at least 15,000 homes were destroyed in the affected region. Hundreds more remain missing and the death toll is expected to rise, according to the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction.
At Praying Pelican Missions, we are prayerfully considering how to respond to this disaster through the local church in those areas. Please pray alongside us for our brothers and sisters enduring this tragic and deadly natural disaster.
