<p>Operation Patwin was the armed forces contribution to the UK Government’s humanitarian
response to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. Supporting the Department for International
Development (DFID), the armed forces delivered essential supplies to an estimated
47,000 people and provided logistical support. The marginal cost to the MOD amounted
to £8,950,281. This sum was reimbursed by DFID under the terms of a memorandum of
understanding covering military support to humanitarian assistance missions. DFID
has commissioned an independent evaluation of its Typhoon Haiyan response, and plans
to share the findings with partners early in 2015.</p><p> </p>
