PHILIPPINES – On September 15, Super Typhoon Mangkhut made landfall in northern Philippines as a category 5 storm, leaving a path of devastation behind.

Heavy winds, torrential rains, landslides, and flooding have affected over 1.6 million people in the Philippines. With many homes destroyed, and thousands of acres of farmland severely damaged, the humanitarian needs are enormous. Many families have lost their homes, their sources of livelihood, and even loved ones.

In the coming weeks, our partner will provide emergency food assistance to 1,636 people. Some families will also receive tarps used for temporary shelters.
