Two airplanes of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations arrived in Chili on Saturday, bringing rescuers, doctors, psychologists and a mobile hospital with special equipment and medicines to help cope with the aftermath of a series of earthquakes that stroke this Latin American country. Another two lots of Russian humanitarian aid, including tents, electricity generators and special rescue equipment had arrived in Chili earlier. The Russian mobile hospital has the latest equipment and has already recommended itself well during the Haiti earthquake. The first quake, nearly 9 points strong, took place in Chili two weeks ago. This Thursday, during the inauguration of Chili’s new President Sebastian Pinera, another series of shocks followed. In total, in the result of quakes, about 500 people died and over 2 million lost their homes in Chili. The damage caused by the quakes is estimated at $ 30 billion.
