USAID extends $8M for PH typhoon victims
The United States has extended another $8 million (nearly P418 million) in aid to the Philippines for victims of Typhoons “Odette” (international name: Rai) late last year and “Agaton” (Megi) this year. In a statement, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) said its cumulative assistance for typhoon-related rehabilitation activities in the Philippines had reached over $29 million (more than P1.5 billion) to date. USAID said the fresh funding “will support up to 80,000 typhoon-affected individuals by providing critical shelter assistance, increasing access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities, restoring agricultural livelihoods, ensuring essential sexual and reproductive health services, and providing protection programs for women and children in Dinagat Islands, Leyte, Southern Leyte and Surigao del Norte provinces.”
