Advisory: Tropical Storm Auring, Philippines

In total, four Child Development Centers (CDCs) and 22 beneficiaries were affected. Most of the affected families have returned to their partially repaired homes or are still staying with relatives. The CDCs are helping the families access the local government support, and are utilizing our Disaster Relief funds to provide additional support where needed.

Thank you for your prayers for the church partners, beneficiaries and families.

In late February, several locations in central Surigao del Sur were flooded due to the Tropical Storm Auring that brought heavy rains and strong winds. Local government agencies initiated evacuation, search and rescue, as well as relief goods distribution before and during the storm. So far, four Child Development Centers have been affected. Beneficiary impact details are not yet available. The church partners are focused on cleanup efforts and assessing beneficiary impact.

Please pray for the church partners, affected beneficiaries and families, as they clean up and recover from losses and damages.
