LONDON(National times)- Britain has promised \u00a31 million in emergency aid to help people in Afghanistan after a powerful earthquake left families grieving and communities shattered.\u00a0 The money will go through international partners to make sure vital healthcare and supplies reach those most in need, as the UK seeks to ensure that the funding does not land in the hands of the Taliban administration. Sunday\u2019s disaster \u2013 one of Afghanistan\u2019s worst earthquakes \u2013 has killed more than 800 people and injured at least 2,800, authorities said on Monday, as rescue operations continued.\u00a0 The country\u2019s response to the crisis has been hampered by shrinking funding for Afghanistan, led by US aid cuts. Britain\u2019s \u00a31 million ($1.35 million) assistance will be split between the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the International Red Cross (IFRC) to deliver critical healthcare and emergency supplies to Afghans in the most affected regions, according to a government statement. \u201cThe UK remains committed to the people of Afghanistan, and this emergency funding will help our partners deliver critical healthcare and emergency supplies to the most hard-hit,\u201d British foreign minister David Lammy said in the statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
