WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States will provide nearly $55 million in immediate aid for Afghanistan in response to an earthquake that last week struck a remote southeastern region, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced on Tuesday. The new U.S. assistance will be used to supply relief to people impacted by the disaster in the form of cooking ware, jerry cans for water, blankets, clothing and other items, including hygienic supplies to prevent a waterborne disease outbreak, Blinken said in a statement. The new aid brings to more than $774 million the amount of U.S. humanitarian assistance provided for Afghanistan since last year, when the Taliban seized power as the last U.S.-led troops withdrew after 20 years of war with the hardline Islamists.
