Chilean Hell Continues.
by Milota Sidorova

I woke up this morning and saw Chilean people living in the tents on the public lawns, squares, everywhere on open spaces. The absurdity of this picture was increased by the amount of empty buildings surrounding them. But nobody entered. If you demand the answer – you would better imagine the earthquake of 8.8 magnitude, then massive tsunami destroying several tens of coastal villages, then the organization chaos and striving. No supplies, no electricity.Three days in a moving chaos – then tsunami again. As before – unexpected or better said – uninformed. Tsunami, followed by the earthquakes between 6.7-7.2 magnitude caused hysteria among the survivo! rs. With every shake, people are running to open spaces, far from buildings and the coast. It is also a difficult situation for real-estate sector. Although owners of disturbed buildings promise the reconstruction, lodgers are precarious and don't want to live there. A lot of people are leaving sites. What is left behind is corrupted areas with soon to collapse buildings. It seems the area is being rewritten again. But what a price! Chilean disaster caused great portion of shock and chaos in the country. More than 24 after the catastrophe there were only 100 soldiers on the sites. The food and information connection has been cut. President Michelle Bachelet called for help with one day delay. The number of victims has exceeded 800, yet counted economic waste summed 15 billion dollars. The environmental damage remains uncounted.Earthquake and striking tsunami are the cause of massive leaving of coastal regions. What remains is a no men's land. People are leaving – who ! is going to stay for reconstruction?One does imagine the enorm! ous effo rts to bring it back to life.
