Tirúa, Bio Bio region. It has been over a week since the earthquake struck and, thanks to the ICRC, José is finally able to phone his sister.
Following the earthquake of 27th February, thousands of people in Chile and abroad were without news of their loved ones. The purpose of the "Family Links" website is to restore contact between separated family members.
