Please Share... PHILIPPINES CHILDRENS DISASTER APPEAL UNICEF HELP CHILDREN AFFECTED BY SUPER TYPHOON HAIYAN/YOLANDA UNICEF knows that when emergencies hit -- they hurt children most. We witnessed that again this weekend in the Philippines. Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) ravaged the central part of the Philippines on November 8, 2013. It left a storm of destruction in its wake, triggering 12 to 15 feet high storm surges, flooding and landslides and affecting an estimated 4 million people Early news reports indicate massive damage to life and property as Yolanda inundated even evacuation centers where hundreds of families took shelter during the storm. Telecommunication lines and electricity are down. Air and sea ports are closed. Media reports have identified food, safe water, medical assistance, and shelter as priority needs. UNICEF, with humanitarian partners, has deployed assessment teams to support and assist the government in response to this latest disaster. We are ready with prepositioned supplies to quickly respond to children’s needs in terms of nutrition, water, sanitation & hygiene, education and protection. Our resources are severely stretched from responding to three emergencies in a row within two months: the armed conflict in Zamboanga on September 9, the 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Bohol on October 15, and now Super Typhoon Yolanda. Again, we urgently appeal for your help so that we can respond to the needs of the children and families most affected by this latest calamity.
