Argentinian govt to help people affected by floods

The Argentinian government has promised to take steps to help people affected by the floods that occurred this week.
About 60 people died in the flood, BBC reports.

Argentinian President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner announced that child allowances for low-income families will be doubled for some time. Additional payments are also to be given to those who receive the minimal pension.

According to the Argentinian president, these measures will have a positive effect on the life of 150,000 people.

On Friday people went into the streets of La Plata, a city which was the worst hit by floods. The people demanded support from the government.
