The European Commission (EC) announced on Wednesday a €3 million worth of humanitarian aid to the Philippines in an effort to assist communities affected by natural disasters and humanitarian crises.
The assistance is part of a humanitarian funding package worth €8.5 million to help the most affected communities in South and Southeast Asia.
In the Philippines, €1 million will help consolidate disaster risk reduction and resilience-building initiatives. The European Union has also mobilised €2 million for humanitarian assistance to the Philippines to assist the most vulnerable people in Mindanao. “The countries in South Asia are facing an increasingly worse monsoon season. Heavy rains and flooding have created a large-scale humanitarian situation in India and Bangladesh. During these difficult times, EU solidarity makes a difference: our support will reach those most in need providing water, sanitation, and essential supplies.
