Chile has seen a sharp spike in murders, with homicides increasing by 40 percent between 2016 and 2021, according to the country's Department of Crime Prevention.
Authorities are blaming international drug gangs who have expanded into the country. It is especially bad in the northern region of Tarapacá where politicians have asked the government to declare a state of emergency, according to a local media report.

Al Jazeera’s Lucia Newman reports from Santiago, Chile.
