Compassion Australia has launched an emergency appeal to provide urgent support to children and families in the Philippines following a series of disasters, including a powerful 6.9 magnitude earthquake near Cebu and the recent Typhoon Opong. Together, these disasters have left thousands of people in desperate need of assistance.

Ricky Santos, Compassion Philippines Partnership Director tells us out what's happening on the ground and how we can help.

One is to provide emergency support by donating to Compassion’s Disaster Relief fund today. Visit https://www.compassion.com.au/donate/disaster-relief 

But also asked for all of us to pray:
- For children and families experiencing grief and loss.
- For the recovery of communities and neighbourhoods.
