EU gives aid to displaced people

The European Commission’s Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection department (ECHO) is providing €300,000 (about P14.1 million) to fund emergency humanitarian assistance to people who have been displaced in the Maguindanao area after the recent escalation of violence in Mindanao.

This will enable the provision of life-saving relief items to the most vulnerable, and support the management and provision of services at evacuation and displacement sites.
