    Tropical Storm Trami (locally known as Kristine) made landfall in the Philippines in late October, causing severe flooding and landslides. More than 7 million people have been affected by the loss of homes, livelihoods, crops, livestock and other devastating impacts. The Philippine Red Cross is leading response efforts to meet the needs of those most impacted, especially at-risk individuals such as women, children and the elderly, by assisting with water, sanitation, shelter, cash, safety, protection and livelihood assistance needs, as well as mental health and wellbeing support. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - IFRC Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is supporting the Philippine Red Cross with their response efforts to help meet the immediate, early recovery needs of several thousand impacted families. The Canadian Red Cross has a long history of working with the Philippine Red Cross. Along with our support to refurbish water trucks in the affected region, some of the PRC volunteers currently responding to this crisis were previously trained in water, sanitation and hygiene through one of our projects with PRC. Through the Emergency Disaster Assistance Fund and DREF, the Government of Canada Affaires mondiales Canada | Global Affairs Canada has contributed funding to the Philippine Red Cross response as they work to ensure people receive the support they need.
