Adjust font size:

China's Ministry of Finance has allocated 102 million yuan (about 14.9 million U.S. dollars) as emergency relief fund to typhoon-hit Fujian and Zhejiang Provinces, the ministry said Tuesday.

Of the total, 42 million yuan will be used to help relocate people, and 60 million yuan for flood control and repairing damaged water conservancy projects, the ministry said in a statement.

Typhoon Morakot has left eight people dead and three others missing on the Chinese mainland after a powerful landing in east China Sunday, according to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
