OVERVIEW
Continued displacement in Zamboanga city, flooding in Maguindanao and major funding gaps for shelter and livelihoods activities along the Visayas continue to pose challenges to humanitarian response. It is estimated that 2.6 million people live without durable shelter in the typhoon-affected areas. Limited funding is also driving humanitarian partners to reprioritize livelihoods and resilience programmes.
As of 30 June, the Strategic Response Plan (SRP) members received 59 per cent funding out of the US$788 million requested. 43 per cent out of the requested US$12.8 million has been pledged for the the Zamboanga Action Plan (revised).

ZAMBOANGA CRISIS
Government announced the closure of the two largest evacuation centres in Zamboanga city by July and December of 2014, respectively. According to the Government's recovery plan, IDPs will be transferred to temporary transition sites while waiting for permanent housing.
While the current evacuation centres require scaled-up assistance (particularly with WASH), humanitarian partners emphasize the importance of ensuring durable solutions for all IDPs affected by the conflict.
