The Australian government has announced it will provide A$1 million in emergency humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan after it was hit by an earthquake that killed more than a thousand people and displaced thousands more.
“The earthquake has taken a heavy toll on lives, homes and livelihoods, the full impact of which has yet to be determined, and this tragedy comes at a time when humanitarian needs in Afghanistan are greater than ever,” Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said in a statement. This is stated in the message of her department.
