BEIJING - The Chinese government has allocated 200 million yuan (US$29.3 million) from the central fiscal for disaster relief in quake-hit Qinghai Province, the Ministry of Finance said late Wednesday.

The fund was to support relief efforts including evacuation, resettlement, medical treatment and epidemic prevention.

A 7.1-magnitude quake hit the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yushu in Qinghai early Wednesday morning, leaving at least 400 people dead and 10,000 others injured.
