THE United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said it needs $2.87 million to provide humanitarian services to over 47,000 people, including 20,670 children.
“These figures are part of the larger appeal of the Humanitarian Country Team, which seeks to raise US$29.8 million to reach 210,000 people,” Humanitarian Situation Report No. 1 of UNICEF showed.
As of Nov. 13, 13,275 individuals from 2,950 households have been reached with life-saving Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) interventions, UNICEF said, adding it set to support learning continuity for 14,594 learners.
Meanwhile, Severe Tropical Storm Trami (Kristine) has hit the country as the third consecutive tropical cyclone to affect the country.
A combined impact of these storms left an estimate of almost 893,000 people in need of humanitarian interventions, according to the Humanitarian Country Team
“UNICEF and its partners are concentrating response efforts in the hardest hit provinces of Camarines Sur — which experienced record levels of flooding due to STS Trami — and Albay,” it said. — Aubrey Rose A. Inosante
