A second shipment of 20 tons of food is expected to reach Concepción on 3 March. Two additional shipments of food have been sent to affected areas to the south of Concepción.....An estimated two million Chileans have been affected by the earthquake, with at least 500,000 homes sustaining considerable damage.
