WHO Seeks $4 Million To Aid Afghanistan Earthquake Survivors
The World Health Organization said Thursday it needs $4 million in urgent funding to provide life-saving assistance to survivors of the deadly earthquake in eastern Afghanistan.
The agency warned that without immediate financial support, its ability to deliver critical health services and emergency aid will be severely limited.
The WHO said the requested funds would be used to provide essential medical care, expand mobile health teams and support water, sanitation and hygiene services in quake-hit areas.
The Taliban said the death toll from the earthquake has risen to 2,205.
