MANILA, Philippines — A humanitarian and development organization called on the government and the private sector to prioritize the distribution of materials needed by communities to repair and rebuild their homes destroyed by Typhoon Odette (Rai).

 

‘Odette’ struck the central and southern Philippines in mid-December, unleashing violent winds and torrential rains that left hundreds of thousands homeless.

 

In a release Tuesday, Oxfam Pilipinas said the distribution of construction materials, on top of food and water, will allow survivors to repair their homes and help decongest evacuation centers.
