"Chile Wildfires Claim Over 100 Lives, State of Emergency Declared"

Chile's President Gabriel Boric has declared a state of emergency as wildfires in central Chile have killed at least 112 people, with the death toll expected to rise significantly. The fires, fueled by an intense summer heatwave, have devastated neighborhoods in the coastal tourist region of Valparaiso, leaving many homeless and causing widespread destruction. Emergency responders are battling the blazes as the country faces its deadliest disaster since the 2010 earthquake and tsunami. The fires are exacerbated by a summer heatwave and drought, with neighboring Argentina also grappling with wildfires.
