Tzu Chi Philippines conducts relief operations in municipalities of Aparri and Sta. Ana.

On November 22-23, Tzu Chi Philippines conducted a series of relief efforts in the municipalities of Sta. Ana, and Aparri, Cagayan after the onslaught of consecutive typhoons entering the Philippines. Region two was among the hardest-hit areas, significantly affected by typhoon Marce (Yinxing). More than 4,000 beneficiaries received relief, and families whose homes were completely destroyed received a construction voucher to aid in rebuilding their homes.

On November 20, Tzu Chi volunteers left Manila early for Aparri, Northern Cagayan, where communities were still submerged in flood water caused by Typhoon Marce (Yinxing). Through the assistance of local leaders, hard-hit areas were identified as well as families whose homes were totally damaged and livelihood washed away. To tide them over, volunteers provided them with sacks of rice, basic necessities, bread, and clothing.
