The Foreign Ministry stated that it hopes that the South Korean aid will contribute to the rapid stabilization of the lives of the affected Chilean citizens and to the recovery of the damaged areas.
The ministry added that it will continue to offer humanitarian assistance to countries and their people affected by natural disasters.
The latest forest fires in Chile have already left at least 24 dead and 6,855 people affected; the fire has also damaged around 430,000 hectares of land, equivalent to more than 8.5 times the size of Seoul.
