In a swift response to the devastating Super Typhoon Yagi and recent heavy rainfall, the Chinese authorities have allocated a whopping 719 million yuan (about $102 million) to support disaster relief and restore agricultural production in the affected regions. 🌧️💸
The fund, a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Water Resources, has been distributed across several provinces and autonomous regions, including Hainan, Guangdong, Liaoning, Jilin, Hunan, Yunnan, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
This substantial financial aid will be directed towards purchasing essential agricultural supplies, providing services for crop replanting and reseeding, and repairing damaged infrastructure. These measures are crucial to help the disaster-hit areas bounce back and resume their agricultural activities smoothly. 🌾🔧
Super Typhoon Yagi, the 11th typhoon of this year, made two significant landfalls in China earlier this month, first striking Hainan and then Guangdong. Meteorological authorities have confirmed that Yagi is the strongest autumn typhoon to make landfall in China since 1949, highlighting the severity of this natural disaster. 🌪️
With these funds, the Chinese mainland aims to ensure that the impacted regions receive the necessary support to recover and strengthen their resilience against future natural calamities. This initiative reflects China's commitment to safeguarding its communities and maintaining stability in its agricultural sectors.
