Aid agencies urge funds for Afghanistan after quake
Los Angeles Times
|September 04, 2025
Aid agencies on Wednesday urged the international community to increase funding to Afghanistan after a major earthquake killed at least 1,400 people and injured thousands more.

Just a few countries have publicly committed money since Sunday night’s magnitude 6 quake struck several provinces in the mountainous and remote east, leveling villages and trapping people under rubble.
It’s the latest crisis to beset the country, and the third strong quake since the Taliban seized power in 2021.
The United Kingdom is giving $1.3 million to help. This money will go to aid organizations and not the Taliban government, which the U.K. doesn’t recognize. South Korea on Wednesday said that it would provide $1 million through the United Nations.
A further $11 million is being released through funds overseen by the U.N. and the European Union, while development agencies are channeling money through nongovernmental organizations or charities.
