REUTERSPIX: The US is providing US$12 million in immediate humanitarian assistance to respond to earthquakes in Afghanistan this month that have killed and injured thousands, according to a US Agency for International Development statement seen by Reuters on Thursday.

Aid agencies launched fresh appeals for funds to deal with the fallout of deadly earthquakes as local authorities called on Thursday for urgent help for thousands of people left homeless in the aftermath of the tremors. “Usaid will continue to stand with the Afghan people to respond to humanitarian needs,” Usaid said in the statement.
