The central government has allocated relief funds totaling 220 million yuan (US$32 million) to the flood-hit provinces of Shandong and Anhui, the Ministry of Emergency Management said yesterday.
The Ministry of Finance and the emergency ministry have given Shandong and Anhui 150 million yuan and 70 million yuan, respectively.
The funds were dispersed from the central government’s budget and will be used for relocation of people affected by the floods, emergency livelihood support, rebuilding of damaged homes and compensation for the deceased, according to the ministry.
