font size    

Chinese President Hu Jintao has sent important instructions on relief work in areas hit by Typhoon Rananim, calling for all-out effort to cure the wounded, restore water, electricity supplies, transportation and telecommunication infrastructure as well as properly arrange people's life in the area.

In an instruction, Premier Wen Jiabao also called on relevant departments to continue their effort for the all-round success in disaster relief work.

Typhoon Rananim has killed at least 115 people, left 16 missing and injured more than 1,600 in east China's Zhejiang Province by Friday afternoon.

The central government has sent a working group led by Minister of Civil Affairs Li Xueju to the province. It has also allocated 61 million yuan, or more than 7 million US dollars, for emergency aid.
