According to the report, the United States government has prepositioned 137,000 food packs and shelter kits for the victims of the “doublet” earthquake that struck Davao Oriental on Friday.
The report also stated that US Ambassador to the Philippines MaryKay Carlson announced the humanitarian aid on Saturday through a post on X, tagging it with “#EDCAinAction,” referring to the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement between the two countries. The US has provided 137K+ family food packs and 500 emergency shelter kits as we coordinate with DSWD (Department of Social Welfare and Development) to assess additional needs in Davao Oriental, the US Ambassador said.
The report added that messages of solidarity and support for the families affected by the tremors continue to pour in from foreign missions and ambassadors based in the Philippines, including Japan, Australia, China, and the European Union.
Additionally, in a separate statement, the Japanese Embassy in Manila on Saturday announced that it will provide emergency relief to the victims of the recent earthquake that devastated northern Cebu. On October 10, upon the request of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines, the Government of Japan has decided to provide emergency relief goods through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to the Philippines in response to the damages caused by the earthquake,” it said.
