ZAMBOANGA CITY, Aug. 9 – Relief goods have continued to arrive for the families displaced by the ongoing fighting in Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, the Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom) said Wednesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The latest shipment of relief goods came from Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and the national government through the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Westmincom said the relief goods donated by the SAF for the Marawi City internally displaced persons (IDPs) arrived on Monday at the airport in Cagayan de Oro City.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Donated by the SAF were the following: 30 tents; 3,120 packets of field ration; three sets of medical supplies; 200 blankets; 1,080 bottles of water; 64 dynamo lights; and, three water filtration units.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The relief goods received by the Army\u2019s 4th Infantry Division from Col. Lee, head of the delegates from Singapore.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The goods will eventually be turned over to the DSWD for distribution to the IDPs within this week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The relief goods from the national government consisting of 600 sacks of rice and canned goods were distributed on Monday to the IDPs housed at the evacuation center in Buadiposo-Buntong, Lanao del Sur.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Soldiers and police escorted the convoy of vehicles of the DSWD and local government unit that transported the relief goods to the evacuation center.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The municipality of Buadipuso-Buntong is one of the inaccessible areas due to closure of the Rorog-Agos road although it is adjacent to the towns Ditsaan-Ramain and Bubong.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Rorog-Agos road links the three lakeside towns to Marawi City. The road was closed after the Daesh-inspired Maute group attacked Marawi City almost three months ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are overjoyed to know that as rehabilitation and humanitarian efforts kick-off, more goods and aid are coming in for our Internally Displaced Persons and families,\u201d Lt. Gen. Carlito Glavez Jr., Westmincom chief said on Wednesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAt our end, we will make sure that we have enough deployable soldiers for the evacuation centers who will be involved in humanitarian activities,\u201d Galvez added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, a company of female soldiers are arriving soonest for the purpose,\u201d he further said. (Teofilo P. Garcia Jr.\/PNA)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
