The funds will be used for the emergency restoration of dikes, road traffic, schools and hospitals affected or damaged by flooding in the two provinces, according to the National Development and Reform Commission.

Parts of Liaoning and Jilin were recently hit by torrential rains, disrupting power, communication and transportation.
