Last June 8, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the southern coast of Mindanao in the Philippines. The disaster has damaged or destroyed nearly 60,000 homes, facilities, and buildings across Mindanao. Among the worst hit areas are General Santos City, and the provinces of Sarangani, South Cotabato, and Davao Occidental.
As of June 15, a total of 176,186 families or 736,386 individuals are affected. The death toll currently stands at 65, while 1,447 are injured and 36 remain missing. The Department of Education reports that over 3.2 million students and 6,224 public schools across several regions have been affected by class suspensions due to structural damage on school buildings.
The widespread destruction to infrastructure and businesses, particularly in the agriculture and fisheries sectors, are expected to cause long-term economic impacts. The livelihood and welfare of thousands of Filipino workers are severely threatened.
ICHRP knocks on the kind hearts of everyone in the international community to extend solidarity and support to the affected communities during this difficult time.
