UNICEF stands ready to reach children affected by the Philippines earthquake

MANILA, 27 July 2022 – UNICEF is concerned about the condition of children and families affected by the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck the northern Philippines at 8:43 am local time. UNICEF and its partners are assessing the immediate needs of affected communities and are ready to support the government-led emergency response.

Initial reports from the epicenter in Abra and neighboring governorates confirm damage to homes, hospitals, roads and other infrastructure. The impact of the quake was felt in the capital, Manila, more than 400 km from Abra, where buildings were temporarily evacuated. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology recorded more than 13 aftershocks as of 12 noon

In any emergency, children are among the most vulnerable. Our hearts go out to the children affected and our first priority is to ensure that their lives are saved and protected. Children and families may have been displaced and injured as a result of the earthquake and may be in urgent need of shelter, clean water, medical care, protection and psychosocial support.

With July’s National Disaster Month drawing to a close, the earthquake is a stark reminder of the need for continuous improvement of emergency preparedness and disaster risk reduction in the Philippines – a country prone to typhoons, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. UNICEF advocates for child-focused disaster risk reduction and puts children at the center of emergency preparedness and response efforts.

UNICEF emergency supplies are on standby to support the government’s relief efforts, and our teams are ready to deploy to reach children and families in affected areas.
