Thailand has been one of
the largest contributors from the ASEAN group to the people affected by Typhoon
Haiyan in the Philippines.
A report from the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs said that Thailand’s total contributions amounted to 254.3
million baht (comprising 88.8 million baht of in-kind donations and 165.35
million baht worth of cash donations).
On 17 December 2013, the
Deputy Permanent Secretary for Foreign Affairs Mr. Narong Sasitorn, chaired a
meeting of the Committee on Disaster Relief Assistance to the Philippines for
Typhoon Haiyan to evaluate and assess Thailand’s further contributions to the
affected people.
Thailand has made initial
contributions which included an airlift shipment of thousands of ready-to-use
aid packages donated by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn and
the Friends in Need (of “Pa”) Volunteers Foundation.
The Committee considered
Thailand’s ensuing disaster relief contributions which includes 5000 tons of
rice (under the ASEAN Plus Three Emergency Rice Reserve scheme), and financial
donations from the Thai public, including the private sector, up to the amount
of 53.6 million baht (1.78 million US dollars) which will be handed over to the
Government of the Philippines by the Royal Thai Embassy in Manila.
In addition, the Committee
also agreed to successively transport 131 tons of relief supplies donated by
the Thai Royal Family.
The Government of the
Philippines has estimated that the destruction caused by Typhoon Haiyan will
require 26 billon US dollars in reconstruction costs.
