FYT's video: HELP EASTERN SAMAR: 9 worst-hit towns by Typhoon Ambo Vongfong under state of calamity

Nine towns in Eastern Samar are now under a state of calamity due to the devastation caused by Typhoon Ambo (Vongfong). The Provincial Council passed a resolution placing the towns of Jipapad, Arteche, San Policarpo, Oras, Maslog, Dolores, Can-avid, Taft and Sulat under a state of calamity on May 18. Around 34,000 families and 100,000 individuals need help in the rice-producing towns where agricultural damage caused by the typhoon climbed to more than P900 million. In this video, FYT gives you a first-hand look at the devastation in Jipapad, a remote town of 8,000 people. "One hundred percent of our households were affected," Mayor Benjamin Ver said in an urgent appeal after flash floods hit his town. "Hindi po namin kayang tustusan ang lahat ng pangangailangan ng mga tao." In collaboration with ESTE News, Lyf.PH, BarangayHub, and YesPinoy Foundation, FYT launched this drive for the people of Jipapad and other devastated towns. ✅HOW TO HELP TYPHOON-AFFECTED TOWNS IN EASTERN SAMAR If you would like to extend help, please contact Fr.
