Chile begins demolition of 220 evacuated homes in Cerro Chuño, Arica

Authorities in Arica, Chile, began demolishing the first 20 of 220 homes in the evacuated Cerro Chuño sector, following evictions completed in late July. The demolition is part of a government-led intervention, likely due to geotechnical risk or urban redevelopment, though the specific reason is not stated. This marks a significant step in the relocation process, with implications for affected residents and urban planning.
