The Jewish community of Chile plans to send truckloads of supplies to victims of a huge fire raging in the central port city of Valparaiso.

The goods, including clothes, food, furniture and construction material, are currently being prepared by the community for dispatch in seven trucks to Valparaiso, the community’s president, Gerardo Gorodischer, told the Agencia Judía de Noticias.

The fires that erupted Saturday had consumed at least 2,900 homes and killed 15 people while injuring hundreds more. The flames come on the heels of a deadly earthquake that stuck Chile’s north on April 1, killing six and leading to the evacuation of hundreds of thousands.

The Jewish community opened a fundraising campaign for victims of the earthquake and has set up an aid committee for the victims of the fire, the community’s website said.

The aid to Valparaiso will leave from the capital Santiago on Thursday in a convoy. The trucks are scheduled to be offloaded at the government’s disaster management center near Valparaiso, according to the website of the Jewish community, known locally by the acronym CJCh.

Among the thousands of firemen at Valparaiso are volunteers from the “Bomba Israel – 15th Company” – a not-for profit organization of Jewish and pro-Israel fire fighters.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
