Flash floods continue to cause chaos in several parts of the Kingdom, especially in Pursat and Battambang provinces, taking at least 10 lives nationwide. National Committee for Disaster Management spokesman Khun Sokha said yesterday the exact number of deaths in each province remains unconfirmed. However, he received information that three people died in Banteay Meanchey province due to drowning.

 

Lao Sampor, deputy director of the Banteay Meanchey provincial information department, confirmed that the three dead were a girl, 10, and two elderly people. Yesterday morning in Battambang province, a pregnant woman was rescued by the Infantry Brigade 53 of Military Region 5 in Phnom Proek district. She delivered the baby on the boat as her house was flooded and she could not access the hospital on time. She was sent to the hospital afterwards.

 

Flash floods have been inundating Battambang, Pursat, Banteay Meanchey, Oddar Meanchey, Preah Vihear and Kampong Speu provinces, engulfing schools, administrative offices, other infrastructure and rice fields.
