Caritas Philippines announced efforts to provide relief to flood victims, particularly in the southern Philippine province of Misamis Occidental.
The Catholic charity said its relief efforts are underway in partnership with the Archdiocese of Ozamis’ social action center.
Archbishop Martin Jumoad of Ozamis earlier asked for prayers and help for the people affected by the calamity. The social action arm of the Manila archdiocese said the immediate needs are ready to eat foods, drinking water, hygiene kits and medicines. Heavy rains and floods that devastated parts of the Philippines over the Christmas weekend have left at least 32 dead and 24 missing, the national disaster response agency said on Thursday, the Associated Press reported.
Some residents in the province were seen hanging on to floaters as coast guard rescuers pulled them across chest-deep floods using a rope.
