International aid has started to arrive, four days after the huge earthquake in Chile.

The authorities are setting up an air bridge to fly supplies from the capital, Santiago, to Concepcion, the city worst hit, where there is still no electricity and little water.

There is a sense of urgency with reports of looting and shops being set on fire in Concepcion.

The government has deployed extra troops to the disaster zone to maintain order.

From Chile, Clare Marshall reports.

Catherine Labrenz is an english teacher in Santiago.

She and her colleagues have been unable to contact their fellow workers at their sister school in Concepcion.
