Beijing: The national commission for disaster prevention, reduction and relief has dispatched working groups to the affected areas to guide disaster rescue operations. The Ministry of Emergency Management, in collaboration with the National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, has sent an additional 20,000 items of disaster relief supplies to Guangdong and Hainan, and 10,000 items to Guangxi. The supplies include folding beds, moisture-proof mats and family emergency kits.
According to Lao News Agency, the National Development and Reform Commission has urgently allocated 200 million yuan (about 28.15 million U.S. dollars) of central budgetary investment to support Guangdong and Hainan in emergency post-typhoon recovery efforts. The funds will be primarily used for the restoration and reconstruction of damaged infrastructure and public service facilities in the affected areas, including roads, bridges, embankments, schools and hospitals, to accelerate the return to normal production and daily life.
Local authorities report that approximately 347,000 people have been evacuated in Guangdong and Hainan to ensure safety.
