Tropical Storm Tembin made landfall in Mindanao, in southern Philippines, last weekend, causing flashfloods and landslides and impacting up to 23 provinces and leaving thousands displaced. The storm caused damage to homes, as well as critical infrastructure such as roads, bridges and power lines. Casualties and injuries, as well as missing people, have also been reported.
The Philippine Red Cross quickly mobilized its volunteers as well as its search and rescue teams to the affected area. They are helping people in need with water, food and emergency shelter, providing psychosocial support and carrying out assessments to determine additional needs. The International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC) is providing support.
Canadian Red Cross has provided financial support thanks to the Government of Canada and remains on standby to provide additional assistance if required.
