The Chilean government announced that the crisis caused by the wave of #incendios , which until this Saturday left 24 dead and devastated more than 440,000 hectares, is beginning to be overcome after 10 days of emergency.

I am growing concerned about our ability to help so many places. We are growing numb to the effects of war, climate change, and other natural disasters. Not understanding the relationship of some wars, refugee needs and climate change.

@runkleva I don’t disagree…but I wouldn’t say numbness is the issue…Helping the Chileans under threat from current wildfires with the firefighting resources they need to survive right now is primary…then the ongoing fight with the fossil fuel consortium in the face of the climate emergency continues…many in the firefighting community understand that first hand as the climate and at peak resources from the planet endangers their lives too
