Fisherfolk in Leyte’s coastal communities are in need of aid to repair their boats battered by typhoon Odette so they can immediately resume livelihood activities, the fisheries bureau’s regional office said following on-site damage assessment that started Dec. 21. “Who and where do we turn to for help? A little help will still be a great help for us to go back fishing. We will be truly grateful to whoever can provide assistance to us,” 58-year old fisherman Jojo Leña told teams from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources-Eastern Visayas (BFAR-8).
