People lost their lives and livelihoods,
Unstopping aftershock, people are waiting for helping hands

 
There can not be ‘comparatively small’ loss to those who lost their lives and livelihoods by natural disaster. It is true that the loss of lives are smaller than Haiti earthquake, yet still 700 are dead, 2 million people lost their houses and more than 100 aftershocks terrify the residents. Warm attention and support are urgently needed for Chileans suffering from this disastrous event.
