Donations for Chile quake victims

By The World ⋅ March 2, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Secretary of state, Hillary Clinton is visiting Chile to offer American support after the powerful earthquake that struck on February 27th. Clinton brought with her satellite equipment to help the Chilean authorities improve shattered communications. Earlier the President of Chile, Michelle Bachelet, said a huge aid effort was underway. She appealed for calm in the badly hit city of Concepción where she said order was being restored after looting. Bachelet said more than 11,000 troops had been sent to the area to maintain order and distribute aid.
