Beijing, August 08, 2024, The Europe Today: Chinese central authorities have allocated additional funds to assist seven regions in coping with the aftermath of severe floods and geological disasters.
A total of 465 million yuan (approximately 65.14 million U.S. dollars) has been jointly earmarked by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Emergency Management. These funds will support disaster relief efforts in Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Hunan, Chongqing, Sichuan, and Shaanxi.
The ministries have urged local governments to properly resettle affected individuals, minimize disaster losses, and restore normal production and living conditions as quickly as possible.
In response to the current flood season, China has intensified its emergency response and disaster relief efforts. Funds, relief materials, and rescue workers have been continuously dispatched to flood-hit regions.
The national observatory on Wednesday morning forecasted rainstorms in the central regions of Shanxi and Henan and warned of a high risk of geological disasters in Gansu over the next 24 hours.
