BEIJING, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- The Ministry of Emergency Management said on Sunday that 5.272 billion yuan (about 734.96 million U.S. dollars) of relief funds from the central budget had been fully distributed, benefiting 30.92 million people.
These funds are intended to support local governments in helping those affected by natural disasters to deal with living difficulties during the winter and spring seasons.
