Current Emergency Responses
Afghanistan
Earthquake (Updated 21 April 2026)
On 31 August 2025, a 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan, severely impacting Nangarhar, Kunar, Nuristan, and Laghman provinces. The disaster caused over 2,200 deaths, around 3,600 injuries, destroyed more than 6,300 homes, and affected approximately 500,000 people in an already fragile humanitarian context.
ADRA Afghanistan delivered emergency food assistance to 1,592 vulnerable households in Kunar Province, prioritizing those most affected by the earthquake. The support helped stabilize food security and reduce negative coping strategies among affected families.
Papua New Guinea
Tropical Cyclone Maila
In early April 2026, Tropical Cyclone Maila caused widespread damage across multiple provinces, including East New Britain, Milne Bay, and the Autonomous Region of Bougainville. Tens of thousands of people have been affected, with destruction of homes, food gardens, and essential infrastructure, alongside fatalities and disrupted access to water, health services, and education.
ADRA Papua New Guinea has activated their NEMP (National Emergency Management Plan) and are implementing a food response using essential food kits that include rice, flour, baked beans, tinned fish, oil, and salt to support affected households. The organization is coordinating with government and partners while continuing to monitor needs and scale response efforts as assessments are finalized.
Fiji
Tropical Cyclone Vaianu
On 8th of April Severe Tropical Cyclone Vaianu impacted Fiji, particularly the Western Division, affecting agricultural livelihoods and communities across 484 localities. While conditions have stabilized and evacuation centres have closed, 13,769 agricultural households were affected and continue to face recovery challenges and food supply constraints.
ADRA Fiji activated its National Emergency Management Plan and distributed over 200 food packs to vulnerable households and returning evacuees. The response is coordinated with national authorities while exploring early recovery and cash-based assistance options.
Solomon Islands
Tropical Cyclone Vaianu
As of 14 April 2026, Tropical Cyclone Maila impacted at least 161 communities, damaging homes, food crops, water systems, schools, and health facilities. Communities face urgent needs for food, shelter, and basic services, with response efforts slowed by funding and logistical constraints.
ADRA Solomon Islands has activated their NEMP and deployed staff for rapid assessments and is coordinating closely with national disaster authorities and partners. Relief supplies, including non-food items and hygiene kits, are being transported to affected areas to support response efforts.
Lebanon
Conflict (Escalation since 2 March 2026)
Since the renewed escalation of hostilities began on 2 March 2026, Lebanon has experienced widespread civilian casualties, infrastructure damage, and mass displacement. Over 1.2 million people have been displaced, with more than 1,530 deaths and 4,812 injuries reported, alongside worsening conditions in overcrowded shelters and host communities.
ADRA Lebanon conducted rapid needs assessments and provided WASH assistance, shelter support, and essential relief items. The response is expanding to include food assistance, vouchers, and psychosocial support for vulnerable populations.
Vietnam
Severe Flooding
From late October into early November 2025, Central Vietnam was hit by severe flooding across Hue and Da Nang after multiple heavy rainfall events. Rivers burst their banks, submerging homes, schools, and farmland, while landslides and eroded roads left several communities completely isolated. More than 2,400 households were evacuated, and wide-scale losses to crops, livestock, and clean-water systems have deepened the impact on local livelihoods. ADRA is preparing targeted support to assist affected families as they work to recover and rebuild.
Jamaica
Hurricane Melissa
On 27 October 2025, Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica as a Category 5 storm, bringing destructive winds over 200 km/h, torrential rain, and widespread flooding. Region-wide, over 9 million people were exposed to tropical-storm–force winds; in Jamaica, communities experienced severe impacts from Category 5 conditions. ADRA Jamaica has activated and upscaled its National Emergency Management Plan (NEMP) to reach 800 affected households with essential food kits and life-saving support. The response is being coordinated with the National Emergency Management Authority and local partners, with additional funding now being sought through a network-wide appeal to expand assistance.
Philippines
Typhoon, Storm, Earthquake
In recent months, the Philippines has endured a series of devastating disasters. On September 17 2025, Typhoon Ragasa struck Northern Luzon with violent winds, torrential rains, and storm surges, leaving thousands displaced and damaging homes, bridges, and power lines. Just days later, Storm Bualoi brought further destruction to Biliran province on September 25, triggering landslides and infrastructure damage. On the 1st of October 2025, a 6.9 magnitude earthquake has shaken Cebu, impacting hospitals, roads, and buildings.
Most recently, on November 9, Super Typhoon Uwan (Fung – Wong) made landfall over Aurora with destructive winds reaching up to 185 km/h, widespread flooding, and storm surges forcing over a million people to evacuate. Communities across Northern and Central Luzon, as well as the Bicol Region, have been heavily affected, with homes, power lines, roads, and coastal areas severely damaged.
ADRA Philippines, with the support of the ADRA global network, is actively assessing needs and responding to provide urgent assistance.
Myanmar
Earthquake
On March 28, 2025, a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar near Mandalay, causing widespread devastation across Mandalay, Sagaing, Southern Shan, Bago, and Naypyidaw. Over 1,600 lives were lost, more than 3,400 people injured, and thousands of homes, schools, hospitals, and religious structures destroyed. Families are displaced, many sheltering in open spaces, with urgent needs for food, water, medical care, and shelter. ADRA Myanmar, together with local partners and the ADRA global network, is conducting rapid assessments and responding to provide assistance.
