MANILA, Philippines – Magbibigay ang Singapore Red Cross (SRC) ng SGD 50,000 o nasa P2.2 milyon bilang suporta sa nagpapatuloy na relief operations ng pamahalaan sa northern Cebu kasunod ng malakas na lindol na tumama noong Martes.
Sakop ng tulong ang agarang medical needs, katulad ng water sanitation at hygiene, at mental health at psychosocial support activities ng Philippine Red Cross (PRC).
“Our contribution is intended to provide immediate assistance, helping to ensure that essential needs are met swiftly and that hope remains alive. We stand in solidarity with our sister national society and the impacted communities in these challenging times,” pahayag ni Benjamin William, secretary general at CEO ng Singapore Red Cross.
Sa pahayag, sinabi ng SRC na nakikipag-usap na ito sa iba pang partner ‘on the ground’ para magpadala ng prepositioned water filters sa mga apektadong komunidad.
Samantala, mahigpit ding minomonitor ng disaster surveillance team ng SRC ang bagyong Paolo na tumatawid sa bansa ngayong Biyernes.
“SRC remains in close coordination with our local humanitarian partners, including the PRC, to ensure assistance directly addresses the most urgent and evolving needs on the ground,” anila.
“The situation in the Philippines is dire; thousands have lost their loved ones, homes, and livelihoods. They might soon be confronted with another disaster with the incoming tropical storm. The situation is fluid, with the needs on the ground evolving daily,” ayon pa sa SRC. RNT/JGC
