About this project

A powerful magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck off the coast of Bogo City, Cebu at 9:59 PM on 30 September 2025, making it one of the strongest recorded earthquakes in Cebu to date, and coming both before and after a succession of other emergencies across the Philippines. In Cebu Province, more than 170,959 people are estimated to have been directly affected by the earthquake, with thousands displaced and critical infrastructure, including roads, bridges, health facilities, and schools, either damaged or destroyed.

The response and recovery operations will target the most severely impacted areas, the communities with the highest vulnerability, and those receiving minimal or no assistance from other humanitarian actors. The sectors covered include Shelter, Livelihoods, Multipurpose Cash Assistance, Household Livelihoods Assistance, WASH and protection.
