Tzu Chi holds relief for Aparri typhoon victims
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.
