UN readies Chile quake aid after gov't seeks help
The United Nations said Monday it would begin rushing aid deliveries to Chile after the government officially asked for help in its recovery from this weekend's massive earthquake.
UN humanitarian spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs said Chile formally made its request Monday, two days after the 8.8-magnitude quake struck about 200 miles (325 kilometers) south of the capital, Santiago, killing over 700 people. (AP)
