(Third Update)
Cebu’s three community newspapers have collaborated to mount an online database to identify where relief aid from government and the private sector is going in 13 towns and one city in north Cebu hardest hit by supertyphoon Yolanda.
In this list of barangays, we still have no detailed information whether they have received relief aid.
If you have sent relief goods to these areas, let us know so we can update the list, which can guide future donors looking for unserved areas.
So far, most of the aid has come in the form of canned goods, rice and other food items.
This project was started in coordination with the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. We invite individuals, families, agencies, government offices and private organizations that have launched relief efforts to help update the information.
