Highlights

• Basic community services are being restored quickly in most areas but urgent needs remain in the provision of health, water and sanitation.

• The most vulnerable people, particularly in remote islands and areas, remain food-insecure and highly dependent on food assistance.

• Priorities in Eastern and Western Visayas are to find shelter solutions and prevent disease outbreaks while concurrently speeding up the pace of recovery to rebuild livelihoods.

• An inter-cluster working group is looking at cross-cutting issues surrounding short- to medium-term shelter solutions – including the urgency of processing fallen coconut trees to be used for shelter lumber.
