Help families affected by Typhoon Tino and Super Typhoon Uwan
Back-to-Back Calamities: Typhoon Tino and Super Typhoon Uwan
In just one week, the Philippines has been hit by two powerful storms—Typhoon Tino and Super Typhoon Uwan—leaving a trail of destruction across the Visayas, Mindanao, and Luzon.
In the wake of Typhoon Kalmaegi (local name: Tino), thousands of children and families across the Visayas—many still recovering from recent earthquakes—are facing new and devastating challenges.
With wind speeds of up to 150 km/h and gusts reaching 205 km/h, Typhoon Tino brought torrential rain, widespread flooding, and landslides across Cebu, Eastern Visayas, and neighboring provinces. Homes have been submerged, power and communication lines cut off, and entire communities displaced once again.
In Cebu City and nearby towns such as Tabogon, Sogod, and Bogo, floodwaters have reached dangerous levels, forcing families—many with young children—to evacuate to overcrowded schools and gymnasiums. Those still sheltering in tents after last month’s earthquake have been forced to flee once more.
“Families still living in tents after the quake have now evacuated to the gym for safety due to heavy rains. Their fear is multiplied by the continuing aftershocks,” shared Josephine Solon, World Vision Program Manager for Visayas.
Days later, Super Typhoon Uwan (Fung-wong) intensified with winds up to 230 kph, forcing the evacuation of 1.3 million people and affecting 836,000 individuals nationwide, accross 8 regions
