Can you please find as many articles as possible on humanitarian aid
from the United States to Afghanistan since our military involvement
there?  I'm trying to find out how much we've given both governmental

Hello.

I'll start with the subject how of much aid the US has given to
Afghanistan since 9/11:

"Since September 11, 2001, the United States provided nearly $900
million for Afghan relief and reconstruction."
Source: US Agency for International Development
http://www.usaid.gov/afghanistan/

"Since October 1, 2001, the U.S. has committed $840 million in
humanitarian and reconstruction aid to help the people of Afghanistan
with the U.S. fulfilling 95 percent of the $297 million pledged at the
Tokyo Conference in January 2002. The international community pledged
$5 billion for Afghanistan, including humanitarian and reconstruction
assistance. The international community in 2002 pledged $2 billion for
Afghanistan, nearly all of which ($1.88 billion) has been spent or is
in the pipeline."
