"Chile Declares State of Emergency as Deadly Wildfires Claim Lives and Threaten Homes"

Chile has declared a state of emergency as forest fires rage in the tourist region of Valparaiso, killing at least 10 people and forcing many to flee their homes. The fires, driven by a summer heatwave and drought, have ravaged thousands of hectares of forest, leading to evacuations and road closures. The situation is exacerbated by strong winds, and the fires are being fueled by the El Nino weather phenomenon.
