ACC World Relief has launched a Disaster Relief Appeal to help communities affected by the earthquake which struck Chile on Saturday 27^th February.

The 8.8-magnitude quake killed 795 people, according to the latest toll, and left two million of Chile’s 16 million population homeless. The earthquake was the seventh most powerful on record, and struck central Chile some 325 kilometers south of the capital Santiago and 115 kilometers north-northeast of the second city of Concepcion. About 20 minutes afterwards a tsunami in the form of three 6 metre plus waves devastated coastal towns.

ACC World Relief’s Response

ACC World Relief’s project partner, Convoy of Hope, is already on the ground working alongside local churches in providing help and supplies to those most in need. Another team is on their way bringing 40 water systems that collectively have a maximum daily capacity of providing over 70,000 litres of clean drinking water. Tents, blankets and food will also be provided.
