Sudan is currently experiencing the largest and worst humanitarian crisis on the planet due to the ongoing civil war - hundreds of thousands dead, millions displaced, unspeakable atrocities including ethnic cleansing and mass rape. It is estimated more than 30 million people are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance.

The 7.8 earthquake that struck near Sarangani, Mindanao is a currently developing story with the quake striking at 7:32 AM PhST yesterday killing at least 40 as of the latest count (the death toll still rising as more people are found and with aftershocks in the next few weeks), displacing at least 20,000 people, and destroying a lot of infrastructure from homes to public spaces to private businesses and even schools. It's a little difficult for me to find information if there's any NGO or community-run/citizen-run relief drives at the moment and especially since I don't use X/Twitter or Instagram but I do want to share some here. If anyone has any information or links that would directly help the people affected by the recent earthquake, feel free to share them here as I'm also trying to look around other places like Facebook even with how terrible its search function is.

From what I've found so far, I'm reposting some images from GCash's Facebook page regarding various large groups and companies that had given different QR codes that people could donate to with Angat Buhay being a well-known NGO that did quick response during last year's typhoon barrage and PDRF being a group that's specifically geared towards disaster response:

Here's also some posts from student organizations that I'm copying over from Facebook. This one is a post from Notre Dame of Marbel University Peacebuilder's page calling for donations:

From the post:

𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗔𝗡𝗜 𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗛𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗩𝗜𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗦 ❤️‍🩹 Mindanao was struck by a 7.8-magnitude earthquake on June 8, 2026, causing significant damage, particularly in Sarangani Province. Numerous infrastructures were destroyed or severely damaged, and many families are now in urgent need of assistance as they recover from the devastating effects of the disaster. In response, the 𝙉𝘿𝙈𝙐 𝙋𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙊𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 (PBO), 𝙉𝘿𝙈𝙐 𝙋𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙎𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙈𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙏𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮 𝙎𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 (PHISMETS), and 𝙉𝘿𝙈𝙐 𝙈𝙪𝙨𝙡𝙞𝙢 𝙎𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙊𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 (MSO) are launching a collaborative donation drive for the affected communities in Sarangani Province.

Together, let us bring hope, compassion, and support to our fellow MindanaOnes during this difficult time. 🤝

Another post from the Supreme Student Council of Mindanao Statue University - GenSan's page calling for donations:

From the post:

𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐎𝐍, 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐎 | 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐃𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 The Supreme Student Council calls on the MSU-Gensan community and the public to extend help to those affected by the devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck some regions and cities in Mindanao. The disaster has caused significant damage to homes, buildings, and establishments across the city, leaving many families displaced and in urgent need of assistance. Reports have also confirmed casualties, missing individuals, and numerous injured residents who continue to require support and care. 📌GoTyme Bank Account Number: 0118011257134 Name: Kyle Neo Inocelda 📌GCash Account Number: 09519228778 Name: Arjan Vhin Alejo 📌UnionBank Account Number: 1093 56916799 Name: Ramzel Ivan Hugh Getubig Delloro 📌For those who wish to donate in kind, donations may be dropped off at the 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲, 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆–𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗼𝘀.

I apologize for not being able to make image descriptions for all of these right now since I'm currently dealing with some bad eyestrain these past few days. If anyone wants to write them, I'll try to add them in on the alt text of the corresponding images.

As always, if you're part of an institution like a school or a company, they might also have or will have programs that would focus specifically on assisting the victims of the earthquake so keep an eye out for those programs and you could go through those channels to help if you find it reputable and feel free to add them in the reblogs of this post as well to make things easier for those that would want to help.

Stay safe, everyone!

Edit for Additional Information: @actualbird had added in the reblogs that people from overseas can help out through Angat Buhay as they accept international bank payments as well! Here's a link to their website where you can find more information to help as well as channels to donate from overseas and below are attached pictures that @/actualbird had added in his reblog:

Thank you for all the people who had been so kind enough to donate as well as those who had shared this post for reach! Any little bit of help goes a long way.

What do you usually do when it's too cold to sleep?

put on more clothes

add more blankets

turn up the heat

go heat up a hot beverage really quickly

something else I'll say in the notes

I am unable to do any of these because I don't have the option

I've been messaging with a 17yo kid from Gaza, named Nader.

When I asked what he wanted people to know about his family's situation, he immediately answered "the bitter cold".

His other answer was about how incredibly expensive everything is in Gaza right now. Here's context: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/10/16/how-much-does-food-cost-in-gaza

Can you imagine being in this situation? Made homeless where the stores are no longer getting consistent deliveries and might be bombed, the government is barely operating cuz it keeps getting bombed, there's not even charity getting into your besieged area, and most people's jobs—including your big brother's—have been bombed beyond repair?

Where it's getting so cold and you CAN'T get warm because you're relying on strangers to help you get that coat or blanket, or bc you need the little money that trickles in to just survive??

And can you imagine living this way for OVER A YEAR as a normal teenager who has a little brother and a baby niece with malnutrition to stress about too?

I know people are tired of hearing about Gaza. It's upsetting that this genocide has continued so long with so few powerful people even trying to stop it. But we have a responsibility to our fellow humans, to help them survive persecution.

Nader is seventeen. None of this should be on his shoulders. Please help his family be safe so he can stop feeling like it's his job to make sure his family has what they need.

Can you give up one treat this week to help Nader's family have the basics?

If you donate at least $10 and comment on this post with proof, I'll record a silly voice message for you or draw you a post it note doodle!

Please also consider following @abdalsalam1990, the tumblr account this family is using to try to raise funds, as a reminder to yourself to share the campaign or contribute in the future.
