A chapel was turned into rubble in Santiago, Chile during the earthquake Saturday morning. The resident of the second floor apartment showed the room off to friends and appeared at ease Saturday afternoon, happy to have escaped the earthquake with her life, despite her wall toppling. The death toll rose past 700 Saturday evening as workers sought to rescue more residents.
The country will distribute food and aid to the hardest hit areas, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet announced Saturday afternoon.
