Super Typhoon Fung-wong made landfall in the Philippines on November 9, 2025, bringing destructive winds, torrential rain, and widespread flooding. More than 1 million people were forced to evacuate as the powerful storm battered communities already struggling to recover from Typhoon Kalmaegi and a series of recent earthquakes. With harvests wiped out in key farming regions and thousands of homes damaged or destroyed, families are now facing urgent needs for clean water, food, shelter, and protection. World Vision teams are on the ground responding to the most vulnerable children and families while assessing long-term recovery needs.
