All 729,341 people who were displaced by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake in southwest China's Sichuan Province have been resettled, authorities in the city of Ya'an said on Tuesday.

More than 780,000 people will be subsidized with 10 yuan (1.62 US dollars) and half a kilogram of grain per person per day for six months, according to the government plan.
