Foreign agencies and embassies announced humanitarian aid through monetary and food packs to communities affected by Super Typhoon EgayPH (international name Doksuri) which battered Northern Luzon after it made landfall early last week.
In a Twitter post, European Union to the Philippines Ambassador Luc Veron said the EU donated €500,000 worth of humanitarian assistance to the affected families and communities in Northern Luzon.
According to the statement, the funding will be used to provide life-saving assistance, including emergency shelter and shelter repair, clean water, and sanitation, to those most affected by the disaster. “The funding announced today by the European Union will enable these partners to significantly step up their assistance to the affected populations,” its statement read.
The agency sent 11,000 family food packs to Isabela and Cagayan provinces with help from the Department of Social Welfare and Development .
