THE PHILIPPINES: UN RAMPS UP AID FOR 6 MILLION CHILD VICTIMS OF
TYPHOON New York, Dec 17 2013 2:00PM With the lives of nearly six
million children and Parents disrupted by the typhoon that devastated
the Philippines a month ago, 1.4 million of whom lost their family
homes, the United Nations is forging ahead with long-term programmes
to restore schooling, protection, vaccination and other child services
and Care for Families.

"While I had followed the reports of progress closely from UNICEF's
New York Headquarters, no statistics can adequately capture the
physical and human challenges that remain," UN Children's Fund
(UNICEF) Executive Director at the end of four-day visit to the
Philippines.

Was deeply impressed, he added, by the spirit of the people and
communities working with the Government, UN and other partners to
rebuild their lives and futures in the wake of super Typhoon Haiyan,
which killed more than 6,000 people, and affected 14 million others
overall, leaving 3.5 million of them homeless, when it struck on 8
November.

UNICEF has mobilized experts from all over the world to support the
relief effort, increasing the staff on the ground to over 100 to
coordinate a plan for recovery to strengthen services for children and
"will continue to support the rebuilding effort for the long term.

This will include working with the Government in supporting
back-to-learning efforts, strengthening the Family Unity,
re-establishing and rehabilitating water systems and the cold chain
for delivery of safe vaccines, and providing services to Families
threatened by malnutrition.

"None of this could have been done without the support UNICEF has
received for the Philippines from around the world, especially from
individuals and private sector partners through our national
committees, A United Nations Spokesperson stated

Meanwhile, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has sent in
the first wave of emergency seeds for farmers who lost essential crops
and supplies, restoring hope for a productive planting season and
much-needed food for the coming year.

"Seed distributions have come at a critical moment, considering the
typhoon struck at the start of the planting season," FAO's Acting
Country Representative Rodrigue Vinet
<"http://www.fao.org/news/story/en/item/210652/icode/">said. "Without
FAO support, these farmers would have been unable to plant rice by
January, and would have had no harvest in March/April. This means they
would have been unable to harvest rice for almost a year – until
October or November 2014."

The seed donations were made possible through swift support from the
Governments of Belgium, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Switzerland, United
Kingdom, the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) and the general
public, as well as with the mobilization of FAO's own emergency
funding mechanisms.

FAO and its partners are already providing enough inputs for close to
55,000 hectares to be planted with rice seed in the December/January
planting season.

In addition to the seeds, 50-kilogramme bags of fertilizer as well as
tools and small irrigation water pumps are being delivered.Dec 17 2013
