The severe aftermath of Typhoon Gaemi, one of the most powerful typhoons to hit the Asia-Pacific region in nearly a decade, has caused extensive flooding and landslides in the Philippines. In response to this disaster, the Krishna Balarama Ashram in Manila has acted swiftly and compassionately, providing crucial aid to the affected communities.
Typhoon Gaemi, also known as Typhoon Carina, brought heavy rains to the Philippines, and the capital city of Manila and surrounding areas experienced significant flooding. With over 600,000 people displaced and at least 13 lives lost, the situation has been extremely challenging. Balarama Das, a dedicated volunteer at the Krishna Balarama Ashram, shared an update on their relief efforts. “This prasadam distribution was conducted two days after Typhoon Carina,” Balarama shared. “On the first day, we went to an evacuation center and distributed around 300 to 400 packs of prasadam, rice, and sabji. And then on the second day, we distributed over 500 packs of stir-fried noodles.”
