Flood Relief Efforts Underway in Sichuan

Flood relief efforts are underway in southwest China's Sichuan Province. In the city of Dazhou, people have started rebuilding their lives.

So far, the local government has allocated some US$2.4 million worth of relief funds. Some 20,000 tons of grain, 2,000 tents, 1,500 quilts and large quantities of medicine and clean water have been distributed to flood-hit areas.

Relief workers are providing emergency power and water supplies. And insurance companies have begun processing flood-related insurance claims. The heavy rains have killed at least 17 people so far and injured several hundred.
