China's top economic planner said on Sunday that it has allocated 350 million yuan (about $49.08 million) from the central budget to aid disaster relief and restoration efforts in the flood-stricken Henan, Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces.
The money will be used to fund the emergency recovery of flood-damaged schools, hospitals, flood control facilities and more in these three provinces, according to the National Development and Reform Commission.
