The storm made landfall on Saturday in the country\u2019s north with wind speeds reaching 213 kilometres (133 miles) per hour, causing severe flooding and landslides, and forcing the evacuation of over 50,000 people.<\/p>\n
As of Wednesday, at least 179 people are reported to have been killed, including children, according to media reports. Several hundred people have been injured and over 47,500 houses damaged or destroyed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe strength and intensity of the typhoon has left a trail of catastrophic consequences, with millions of families severely affected<\/strong> in coastal as well as mountainous and hard-to-reach areas,\u201d the UN Children\u2019s Fund (UNICEF) said in a bulletin, issued late on Monday.<\/p>\nThe agency estimates that 5.5 million children are among the 19 million people living in the most affected regions.<\/p>\n
Coordinated response<\/h2>\n
In response, authorities have launched a comprehensive relief effort, deploying more than 438,000 officials, soldiers, disaster response experts and volunteers.<\/p>\n
The Government has also invited the support of all disaster response and humanitarian actors, including UNICEF, to support the response.<\/p>\n
UNICEF is actively coordinating with UN entities and partners to assess needs and provide urgent support in areas such as child protection, water and sanitation, nutrition, health, and education.<\/p>\n
\u201cA supply plan has been activated to mobilise pre-positioned essential supplies<\/strong>, at the national level and in warehouses across the region, and through [our] global supply division, if needed,\u201d the agency added.<\/p>\n\n
