In response to the widespread devastation caused by Typhoon Ragasa (known locally as Typhoon Nando) which hit northern Luzon in September 2025, The Salvation Army is mobilising emergency relief efforts to support 1,200 families in the hardest-hit areas.
The super typhoon has left communities reeling, with homes destroyed, livelihoods lost and access to food and clean water severely disrupted.
Immediate assessments conducted in coordination with local government units and community leaders revealed a critical shortage of food, water and hygiene supplies.
To address this urgent need, The Salvation Army is distributing food packs containing rice, canned goods, noodles, coffee, bottled water and hygiene kits. These relief goods aim to meet the immediate nutritional and health needs of affected residents while complementing the efforts of government and other humanitarian agencies.
Salvation Army teams are working closely with local authorities to ensure the rapid and efficient delivery of aid. Priority is being given to the most severely affected areas to maximise impact and reach those in greatest need.
