Chile Mourns as Wildfires Claim Over 120 Lives

The country is in a state of national mourning following the deadliest wildfires in its history, with many still missing.

At least 122 people have died in the wildfires ravaging Chile, making it the world's third-deadliest wildfire this century.
The fires, fueled by a brutal heat wave and possibly started deliberately, have devastated the central coastal region, including the tourist hotspot Viña del Mar.
President Gabriel Boric has declared two days of national mourning and a state of emergency, pledging government support for recovery.
Nearly 26,000 hectares have been burned, affecting thousands of homes and leading to curfews and evacuations in the affected areas.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the fires, amid suspicions that they may have been started intentionally.
