Australia answers call for help after deadly quakes
Australia has answered a global call-out from Afghanistan’s Taliban regime for help after more than 1400 people died in earthquakes in the country’s mountainous east. The federal government will provide $1 million following the deadly quakes, which struck the Nangarhar and Kunar provinces, this week. The funds will be directed through the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund, led by the United Nations Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
