China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has rolled out a 50 million yuan ($6.9 million) emergency fund to support flood-hit communities in Hebei Province, where torrential rains recently caused widespread damage. 🌧️
The funding aims to accelerate recovery efforts, including rebuilding critical infrastructure like roads, bridges, and power grids. Over a dozen cities in the region were submerged, displacing thousands and disrupting livelihoods. 🏘️⚡
"This allocation reflects the urgency of stabilizing lives and restoring normalcy," said an NDRC spokesperson, emphasizing the focus on housing repairs and public services. Local authorities have also mobilized teams to assess long-term climate resilience strategies. 🛠️🌱
Hebei, a key industrial and agricultural hub near Beijing, faces mounting challenges as extreme weather events intensify. The move aligns with broader national efforts to address climate-related risks while balancing economic growth. 📈🌏
