The Aftermath

Typhoon Bopha, one of the strongest typhoons to hit the Philippines in the last decade, left its mark all over Eastern Mindanao, like here in Lingig, Surigao del Sur.

A New Lake

Vast areas of land in Eastern Mindanao were literally washed away by Typhoon Bopha. A month after the typhoon, these trees are still submerged in floodwaters.

Staying Positive

Despite the situation, the people of Eastern Mindanao have not lost hope. These two men in Cateel, Davao Oriental, keep their smiles while cleaning debris in their heavily-hit community.

Partnerships

In support of the government’s relief efforts and in constant coordination with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), WFP and its partners continue to provide life-saving food relief to the most affected families. In several Humanitarian Hubs erected near the affected areas - such as this one in Trento, Agusan del Sur - WFP’s Logistics Team works around the clock with the DSWD to ensure timely arrival and delivery of supplies.

Lining Up For Relief Packs

In the worst-affected communities, where people do not have any means to get food by themselves, food distributions continue. In Lingig, Surigao del Sur, people queue to receive their relief packs.

DSWD relief packs, which contain complementary rations of WFP iron-fortified rice and high-energy biscuits, are distributed to affected populations.
