Summary edit

Description

Like most of the houses in Tolosahay on the Philippines island of Leyte, Minda's home was damaged by Typhoon Haiyan. But now she's received tarpaulins funded by the UK, she at least has a temporary roof again.

"Our roof blew off in the typhoon and my husband and I had to hide", she says.

"We are so happy with the tarpaulin because it gives us some protection when the weather is bad outside."

Through working with NGOs like Plan, UK aid is helping 130,000 people construct emergency shelter, feeding more than 175,000 people, giving 250,000 people clean water or basic hygiene and helping deliver millions of pounds worth of essential medicines.

The UK’s support to the UN and Red Cross appeals is also delivering vital supplies to more than 500,000 victims of the typhoon and helping teams on the ground to coordinate relief efforts.
