The massive earthquake that struck central Chile has now claimed at least a hundred-and-twenty-two lives. Dozens of buildings collapsed and parts of the country are without power, after the deadly 8.8-magnitude quake. Santiago airport is closed, and Chile’s president has declared a ’state of catastrophe’.
