The additional assistance is in response to the revised flash appeal launched by the Philippine government and the United Nations. An estimated 10 million people have been affected and 990 people lost their lives in the aftermath of the massive destruction and flooding caused by tropical storm Ondoy and typhoons Pepeng and Santi.
