Humanitarian Aid for Mindanao Earthquake

Help Deliver Urgent Medical Aid and Humanitarian Assistance to Earthquake-Affected Communities in the Philippines

A powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Southern Mindanao, Philippines, causing widespread damage across South Cotabato, Sarangani Province, General Santos City, and neighboring communities. Homes, healthcare facilities, schools, and critical infrastructure have been damaged, while thousands of families continue to face ongoing aftershocks, displacement, and disruption of essential services.

HAND-Philippines, together with the South Cotabato Medical Society and local humanitarian responders, is mobilizing urgently needed medical supplies, equipment, and relief assistance for communities affected by this disaster.
