BEIJING, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- China will provide Afghanistan with 50 million yuan (about 7.04 million U.S. dollars) in emergency humanitarian aid for earthquake relief, a spokesperson for the China International Development Cooperation Agency said Thursday.
At the request of the Afghan government, China will provide tents, blankets, and food that are urgently needed in the earthquake-affected areas, spokesperson Li Ming said.
A 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan on Aug. 31, killing 2,205 people and injuring 3,640 others, according to the latest report from the Afghan Red Crescent Society.
Rescue operations remain underway amid reports that many people are still trapped beneath the rubble of collapsed homes, the organization said.
