NDRRMC: Florita victims get P900,000 worth of food packs, hygiene kits

More than P900,000 worth of food packs and hygiene kits have been distributed to those affected by Florita, the NDRRMC has said.

According to Jhomer Apresto’s report on DZBB Super Radyo on Wednesday, some 1,400 families or more than 4,000 individuals were assisted by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

Most of those who received the assistance were residents of Region 1, 2, and Cordillera Administrative Region who were temporarily asked to evacuate.

The DSWD said they’re also working with other agencies such as the PNP, Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Army, Bureau of Fire Protection, and local offices to speed up the distribution to the residents affected by the typhoon. —Sherilyn Untalan/NB, GMA News
