Emergency Response to Abra Earthquake - Supporting Access to Shelter and Hygiene On 27 July 2022, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit the Abra Province in northern Philippines, affecting over 136,000 families. The most affected was the Abra Province which hosts 47,653 families that are displaced and 22,633 families with totally or partially damaged houses.
