The Australian Government has provided PHP42.7 million (AUD1.1 million) to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to support the Philippine Government’s response to the Marawi crisis.
With this funding, WFP will be able to provide six months of school meals for 50,000 students affected by the crisis.
“As a good friend and neighbor, Australia is committed to providing humanitarian assistance when necessary,” said Australian Ambassador Amanda Gorely. “Through our partnership with the Department of Education and Task Force Bangon Marawi, we are supporting people affected by the Marawi crisis.”
