Highlights
Typhoon Hagupit (local name Ruby) is now out of
the Philippine Area of Responsibility. It made four
landfalls in the country, the first one near Dolores,
Eastern Samar on 6 December, before exiting on 10
December. At least 19 were confirmed dead as a
result of the typhoon.
The Government of the Philippines has not officially
requested for international assistance. It has
activated its Response Clusters System, and WFP is
providing support in terms of Food and Non-Food
Items (NFIs), Logistics, and Emergency
Telecommunications.
WFP has finalized an Immediate Response
Emergency Operation (IR-EMOP) worth US$1
million. The three-month operation is aimed at
addressing the priority needs of some 360,000
people affected by the typhoon through general
food distribution of rice and high-energy biscuits
(HEBs) and cash transfers.
Distribution of HEBs to an estimated 300,000
beneficiaries started today in 17 municipalities in
Eastern Samar.
