$2.8M needed for humanitarian aid

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said it needs $2.87 million to provide aid to more than 47,000 people, including 20,670 children.
“These figures are part of a larger appeal by the World Humanitarian Team, which seeks to collect $29.8 million to reach 210,000 people,” Humanitarian Situation Report No. 1 of UNICEF showed.
As of Nov. 13, 13,275 people from 2,950 households have been reached with life-saving Water, Sanitation, and Sanitation (WASH) interventions, UNICEF said, adding that it will support the continued education of 14,594 students.
Meanwhile, Severe Tropical Storm Trami (Kristine) hit the country as the third typhoon in a row to hit the country.
The combined impact of these storms has left an estimated 893,000 people in need of humanitarian assistance, according to the World Humanitarian Organization.
“UNICEF and its partners are focusing response efforts in the hardest-hit provinces of Camarines Sur – which experienced record levels of flooding due to STS Trami – and Albay,” it said. – Aubrey Rose A. Inosante
