THE UNITED Nations has increased its target assistance fund for survivors of Typhoon Rai, known locally as Odette, to $169 million or P8.6 billion, from $107 million as an updated impact evaluation show wider scale of damage and more people affected.

“The revised HNP reflects our new understanding based on over 70 field assessments, that despite the massive rapid response by the Government and civil society organizations, humanitarian needs remain very high,” UN Resident Coordinator Gustavo Gonzalez said in a statement on Wednesday.
