China has allocated 80 million yuan (11.76 million US dollars) to south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region for disaster relief following deadly rains and floods.
Torrential rain has submerged over 13 cities in this region over the past few days, with floods damaging crops and forcing hundreds of thousands to evacuate from their homes.
