Typhoon Mangkhut Emergency
On 14 September, Typhoon Mangkhut struck land in the northern and eastern coasts of Cagayan region of the Philippines, causing catastrophic damage and loss of life.
81 people have lost their lives, with many more injured and homeless. So far, more than 1.4 million people have been affected. Families are in urgent need of shelter, food, water and medical supplies. Entire villages have been wiped out. Details are still emerging but we can be certain that a large-scale humanitarian response will be required.
CARE is on the ground in the Philippines and is currently assessing the needs of those affected by the disaster. Our teams will be working to ensure vulnerable families receive shelter, water and food and can recover from this disaster.
