TACLOBAN CITY, Philippines — The National Housing Authority (NHA) has turned over 4,193 housing units for victims of Super Typhoon Yolanda in Tacloban City.

Mayor Alfred Romualdez received the housing units that are ready for occupancy in a virtual turnover ceremony attended by Cabinet Secretary and Task Force Yolanda chairman Karlo Nograles on Thursday.
