Manila, August 18, 2024 – Good Neighbors Philippines has provided post-disaster relief and recovery interventions for the communities affected from Typhoon Gaemi to help them rebuild stronger.
Typhoon Gaemi, locally known as Carina, intensified by the Southwest Moonsoon, left severe damages and disruption to 299,344 families (1,319,467 individuals) in the Philippines, particularly in the Metro Manila. The disaster resulted in severe flooding, destructed houses, properties, and livelihoods, causing complex issues including food insecurity and health concerns. In response to this pressing situation, Good Neighbors Philippines has been present in the affected areas from the onset of the typhoon to the present.
Typhoon Gaemi highlights the severe impact of climate change to the Philippines, with more extensive and devastating disasters expected to affect the communities in the future. Thus, Good Neighbors Philippines remains committed not only to during-disaster response but also to disaster preparedness, anticipation, and resilience-building, minimizing negative and destructive impacts on their lives.
As all affected Filipino communities strive to recover stronger, Good Neighbors continues standing with the children and families until they are back to a better daily life.
