TABUK, Kalinga – The last delivery of aid from the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) arrived recently and was immediately handed to the concerned local governments for distribution to the 3,561 target families in the province who were most affected by the onslaught of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng late last year.

The multi-million aid forms part of the numerous food assistance extended by the UN to calamity-stricken families in the different parts of the province in the coming months prior to the onset of the rainy season.

Imelda Polig of the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) said each family will get 25 kilos of rice and fortified biscuits.
