PH Red Cross appeals for donations for typhoon-hit areas
Philippine Red Cross (PRC) Chairman and CEO Sen. Dick Gordon has mobilized the organization's resources and personnel nationwide to provide immediate aid to individuals affected by Typhoon Odette.
Typhoon Odette made landfall in Surigao del Norte and Southern Leyte, causing widespread power, water, and communication disruptions.
Thousands of families were evacuated across the Visayas regions due to the typhoon's destructive path through Mindanao and the central Philippines.
Gordon directed local chapters to deploy payloaders to clear roads blocked by fallen trees and debris.
The PRC is currently preparing rescue equipment, medical tents, mosquito nets, sleeping kits, food packs, and other relief items to be sent over to affected areas.
Gordon appealed to the public to donate for the affected communities in Visayas and Mindanao.
