As one of the Philippine Government’s longstanding partners in emergencies, WFP was among the first to support the Government to respond in the immediate aftermath of the typhoons. This report provides a comprehensive overview of how WFP worked with national and local authorities and communities to augment the Government-led response through damage and needs assessments, cash assistance, logistics, and telecommunications support.
Primarily through national social protection programmes, WFP provided cash assistance for 151,350 people in five priority provinces: Albay, Aurora, Cagayan, Camarines Sur, and Catanduanes. With WFP’s transport support, the Government provided close to 318,000 family food packs (FFPs) and non-food items to 1.6 million people to meet their food and other urgent needs.
