EU provides €300,000 for flood victims in Phl

The European Union has made available €300,000 (over 18 million Philippine pesos) in response to widespread flooding, which has wreaked havoc across many parts of the Philippines since mid-November. This humanitarian aid will address the urgent needs of the most affected families in some of the hardest-hit districts in the eastern region of Visayas.

“The floods have caused massive destruction that affects hundreds of thousands of people in the Philippines”, said Arlynn Aquino, who oversees the EU’s humanitarian programmes in the Philippines. “To help, the EU immediately channels funding to support our partners to scale up their efforts in delivering essential aid to the affected families.”

The assistance will support EU humanitarian partners already on the ground in delivering vital aid to those most in need. This includes food and livelihood support, as well as access to clean water supplies, sanitation facilities, and education.
