“Chile deplores the death of at least 15 people, according to figures from the Mission in Peru of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and states that any violation of human rights must be duly investigated,” said the Executive in the text.

In turn, he reported that at least 350 Chileans are stranded in Peru. In this regard, the Foreign Ministry is preparing an action plan.
