China on Sunday said it has allocated a further 45 million yuan (about $6.2 million) to support the urgent restoration of flood-damaged roads.
The funds, granted by the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and the Ministry of Transport, will be used promptly to restore roads destroyed by flooding in the provinces of Anhui, Hubei and Heilongjiang, as well as Chongqing Municipality, according to the MOF.
The two ministries earlier allocated 105 million yuan to support Guangdong, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan and Guizhou in their urgent road restoration efforts.
The funds aim to support local authorities in ensuring safe traffic during the flood season. Persistent rains have battered many of China's southern regions this summer, damaging roads and buildings, and leading to casualties.
China's meteorological and water resources authorities on Sunday evening renewed a red alert, the highest-level warning, for mountain torrents as rainstorms continue to soak parts of the country.
