At least 51 people were killed by forest fires in Chile’s Valparaíso region, local authorities have said.
President Gabriel Boric declared a state of emergency and said he would make "all necessary resources" available to tackle the situation.
It is believed to be Chile’s deadliest forest fire on record. Many of those affected were visiting the coastal region during the summer holidays.
A health alert was put in place in Valparaíso by the health ministry.
