Geneva / Manila (ICRC) – Much-needed aid has reached residents of Guiuan, Mercedes and Salcedo, in south-eastern Samar where Typhoon Haiyan swept away several shoreline communities in the central Philippines.
Today, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Philippine Red Cross started distributing food (rice, oil, sugar, salt, soy sauce, coffee and tins of sardines) to 10,860 families (54,300 people). The beneficiaries also received soap.

For its relief operation in response to Typhoon Haiyan in Samar, the ICRC has launched an initial appeal for 15 million Swiss francs (over 16 million US dollars) to aid 180,000 people for a period of three months.
