A rare and powerful 6.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Morocco on Friday, has killed over 2,900 people and injured 5,300, according to officials.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) said Wednesday it would make up to $1 million available in initial humanitarian aid for Morocco's recovery efforts.

"This funding will help organizations on the ground provide emergency food assistance, health services, shelter, and mental health and psychosocial resources to assist the Moroccan-led response," Samantha Power, administrator for USAID, said.
