In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) expressed its sincere condolences and sympathy to the victims' families, the Chilean government, and its people and wished a speedy recovery for all those injured. 

Chilean authorities have carried out mass evacuations and fought over 30 blazes aggravated by intense heat and high winds, according to Reuters.
