MANILA, Philippines — Multilateral lender Asian Development Bank (ADB) just approved a $2 million grant to support the Philippine government's emergency response to Typhoon Odette (international name Rai), which brought destruction to central and southern provinces in December last year.

 

The grant, which will come from the ADB's Asia Pacific Disaster Response Fund, seeks to provide humanitarian assistance in 15,000 households, or roughly 75,000 people affected by the typhoon — in the form of food vouchers, and logistics support for food delivery and assistance. 

 

ADB will be teaming up with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to deliver the food assistance to the communities.
