Update on Typhoon Pablo Emergency Relief Operations (ERO)
Update Report – as of January 14, 2013
On December 20-21 and 26, 2012, one thousand (1,072) households in four (4) barangays in Cateel, Davao Oriental received relief packs. These are far-flung barangays that Unlad Kabayan identified as underserved that can be reached only by single motor (habal-habal), and/or walking for 7-9 hours, or reachable by banca (small dug-out boats). Some sitios are nestled in deep valleys and along upstream Cateel River on the border of Compostela Valley.
- Maglahus: 8 sitios – 356 households
- Aliwagwag: 7 sitios – 255
- Malibago: 8 sitios – 384
- Taytayan: 3 sitios – 77
The households and local governments of the province of Davao Oriental are grateful to the people of the United Kingdom who expressed sympathy and support through Christian Aid, to the Women’s Legal Bureau and friends of Unlad Kabayan who contributed towards easing the hunger, distress of affected households. The relief packs included: ten kilos of rice, canned goods, water containers, flashlights, sanitary napkins and small food packs and goodies for the children.
Many households who came down to distribution centers to receive relief included pregnant and lactating women w ith infants and young children.
Typhoon Pablo (Bopha) was described as the “most devastating catastrophe in 2012” in the world by the “US Impact Forecasting” with 1,901 deaths, more than 300,000 homeless and US$1 Billion in damages.
