China's top economic planner has allocated 100 million yuan (around $16 million) for infrastructure reconstruction in quake-hit Gansu province.

The fund, allocated by the National Development and Reform Commission, will be used for rebuilding transport, water conservancy and other public facilities in Minxian and Zhangxian counties, the China Daily reported Sunday.

A 6.6-magnitude quake jolted the border areas of Minxian and Zhangxian counties Monday, killing at least 95 people and injuring more than 1,400.

Heavy rain has been falling in the quake zone since last week, hampering transport of relief materials, officials said.
