New Zealand has contributed $150,000 towards relief efforts in the typhoon-ravaged Philippines and more support could be on its way.
Foreign Minister Murray McCully said the funding had gone to the Red Cross to support immediate relief efforts in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan.
He said the contribution would help the Red Cross maintain emergency supply stocks and carry out impact assessments in affected areas.
"Typhoon Haiyan was one of the largest storms on record and has had a major impact on the Philippines - a country that has recently been hit by successive natural disasters," Mr McCully said.
"New Zealand will consider further support as the full extent of the damage becomes clear."
