MANILA – The European Union (EU) on Tuesday announced EUR1.7 million (roughly PHP95.8 million) in humanitarian funding to give emergency aid for Typhoon Odette-affected provinces in the Philippines.
“In an immediate response to typhoon Rai which caused wide-spread destruction and deplorable loss of lives in the Philippines, the EU stands by the Filipino people in these difficult times and has started to provide emergency relief actions to those affected in close cooperation with our humanitarian partners,” said EU Commissioner for Crisis Management, Janez Lenarčič.
The funds will be used to cover the immediate needs of the affected population, such as food, drinking water, shelter, and other household items.
Humanitarian partners will work together to improve healthcare services, including hygiene promotion activities, in order to reduce the spread of waterborne diseases.
The EU also confirmed that cash grants will be made available to those most affected in order for them to survive during their displacement.
The EUR1.7 million fund is drawn from the EU’s Acute Large Emergency Response Tool (ALERT) and can be topped in the future as the humanitarian emergency and needs of the population in the Philippines are closely monitored.
ALERT is mobilized in times of disasters that affect over 100,000 people or over 50 percent of the population.
Depending on the type of disaster, the aim is to allocate funds within 24 to 48 hours of the onset of the emergency, the EU said.
