Life in the aftermath of the worst disaster to strike the Philippine island of Mindanao in decades remains full of suffering, sorrow, and uncertainty right now.
With 400,000 people homeless, more than 1,200 people dead, and thousands injured, the situation threatens to worsen in the coming days and weeks.
In the early morning hours, while people were sleeping, the Cagayan, Agus, and Madulong rivers, swollen by typhoon Washi’s torrential rains, breached their banks. Within minutes, massive flows of debris-filled water from the rivers raged through villages and towns, submerging or sweeping away everything in their path. Many families didn’t stand a chance and were killed as they slept or awoke amidst the roar of the water. In one place, an entire village was swept away in just minutes, killing hundreds of people.
Our partners in Mindanao tell us that the destruction is on a scale beyond anything they’ve ever seen. In one small area alone, on the outskirts of flood-ravaged Cagayon de Oro, we’ve identified hundreds of families who remain in desperate need. And there are hundreds, in fact, thousands more just like them.
Your gift of $50 will help provide immediate emergency assistance such as food, clean water, medicine, clothing, and temporary shelter. A gift from you of $75 will provide emergency assistance and help families begin the long process of rebuilding their lives.
