EU gives additional P63M aid for typhoon victims

The European Union (EU) has announced an additional €1.3 million in humanitarian aid for victims of Super Typhoon Rolly, amounting to approximately P63 million.

This assistance will fund emergency relief, including shelter, food, and livelihood aid, for families impacted by the typhoon.

The typhoon caused widespread devastation across Luzon, affecting more than two million people and resulting in at least 20 fatalities.

The EU's contribution will support humanitarian partners on the ground providing critical aid to those most affected.

EU Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarčič stated that the aid will help the Filipino people restore their homes and livelihoods.

Typhoon Rolly, the strongest to hit the Philippines since Typhoon Yolanda in 2013, inflicted an estimated P6 billion in damages to agriculture and infrastructure.
