Governments in areas hit by cold are struggling to aid the homeless and repair infrastructure amid persistent cold weather.

Shelters equipped with quilts, coats and food have opened to the homeless in Hefei, capital of Anhui province.

"You can find shelters and aid stations for the elderly and homeless in all communities and villages in our district," said Zou Zhongxian, a civil affairs official in the city's Luyang district.

The civil affairs bureau in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province, has also arranged 1,347 shelters for the elderly.
