It’s been nearly a week since the deadly super typhoon—one of the most powerful ever recorded—slammed into the Philippines. The winds leveled tens of thousands of homes.

Samaritan’s Purse deployed disaster response specialists, including water and nutrition experts, to the region immediately after the storm. Community water filters, protective tarps, blankets, hygiene kits, and emergency family food packets are being rushed to affected areas. (More)
