Two million people have been affected by the massive earthquake that struck central Chile on Saturday

"Two million people have been affected by the massive earthquake that struck central Chile on Saturday, President Michelle Bachelet has said. In a TV address, she said the forces of nature were testing the nation.
So far at least 300 people have been confirmed killed in the earthquake that struck in the early hours of Saturday.
The 8.8 quake - one of the biggest ever - triggered a tsunami that has been sweeping across the Pacific, although waves were not as high as predicted.
