Santigo, February 28: The death toll from Chile’s earthquake has reached 214, with officials saying some 1.5 million homes have been damaged.
That figure included half a million homes “with severe damage” that will “probably not be able to be lived in again”, Housing Minister Patricia Poblete said.
The city of Concepcion, some 440km southwest of Santiago, and its surrounding area was especially hard-hit.
