Australia will provide another $5 million in humanitarian aid to help earthquake recovery efforts in Nepal.

"This will bring our contribution to $10 million, which places us as one of the highest donors in terms of money for humanitarian relief," Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told reporters in Perth on Friday.

The additional funds will be given to the UN Flash Appeal, the Australian Red Cross and other non-government organisations taking part in relief efforts.
