In a show of solidarity, the New Zealand government has donated NZD500,000, equivalent to about PHP17 million, to aid the Philippine Red Cross in its efforts to respond to multiple typhoons that have battered the Philippines. The New Zealand Embassy emphasized the strong bond between the two nations, highlighting shared values of resilience and compassion in times of crisis. This financial support is part of New Zealand’s ongoing cooperation with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. The donation comes at a critical time as the United Nations has estimated that over PHP1.17 billion is required to meet the urgent needs of typhoon-affected communities, particularly in regions like Bicol and Central Luzon, which have been hit hard by recent storms.
