Millions of locals remained without running water in Chile after multiple powerful storms generated some landslips.

According to Reuters, three people died and other 19 are missing.

During the massive downfalls, many rivers from the area overflowed and isolated 373 people near the capital of Santiago.

In addition, millions of people remained without running water and the storms are blocking the emergency teams from helping the distressed.

The authorities announced more than one million households in Santiago are not disposing of running water.

‘Several emergency teams are working on the field to reach the isolated and to repair the water system’, wrote the Chilean president on Twitter.

In the O’Higgins region, in southern Santiago, a 12-year-old died after a landslip destroyed the car in which she was traveling.

In the San Jose de Maipo Valley, near the capital, multiple emergency units are clearing the roads for the residents to evacuate the affected areas.

This is the second most violent flood for Chile

In April, several torrential showers of rain affected the San Jose de Maipo Valley and a person died.

The production process of Chile’s largest and most important copper mines was interrupted.

Last month, the South American country confronted with one of the most aggressive fires that killed nearly 11 people.

The massive fire extended in the central and southern regions of the country and it was extinguished in almost two weeks.

According to the Chilean authorities, the fire was triggered by a criminal hand.
