In the Philippines, sporadic clashes continue to occur, particularly in Mindanao, where hostilities have generally decreased. These clashes lead to displacement of remote communities, cutting them off from their farms and livelihoods. As a result, displaced communities lose access to essential services such as reliable and safe water and sanitary facilities.

The effects of past conflicts also persist, as seen in the aftermath of the 2017 Marawi conflict. Further information on the humanitarian situation in the Philippines is available from ReliefWeb, including details on the ongoing challenges faced by affected communities and the efforts to address them.
